Gravitating dyons and the Lue-Weinberg bifurcation

Abstract

Gravitating t'Hooft-Polyakov magnetic monopoles can be constructed when coupling the Georgi-Glashow model to gravitation. For a given value of the Higgs boson mass, these gravitating solitons exist up to a critical value of the ratio of the vector meson mass to the Planck mass. The critical solution is characterized by a degenerate horizon of the metric. As pointed out recently by Lue and Weinberg, two types of critical solutions can occur, depending on the value of the Higgs boson mass. Here we investigate this transition for dyons and show that the Lue and Weinberg phenomenon is favorized by the presence of the electric-charge degree of freedom.
