Are All Static Black Hole Solutions Spherically Symmetric?
S. Alexander Ridgway, Erick J. Weinberg
The static black hole solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell equations are all spherically symmetric, as are many of the recently discovered black hole solutions in theories of gravity…
Static Black Hole Solutions without Rotational Symmetry
S. Alexander Ridgway, Erick J. Weinberg
We construct static black hole solutions that have no rotational symmetry. These arise in theories, including the standard electroweak model, that include charged vector mesons wit…
Instabilities of Magnetically Charged Black Holes
S. Alexander Ridgway, Erick J. Weinberg
The stability of the magnetically charged Reissner-Nordstrom black hole solution is investigated in the context of a theory with massive charged vector mesons. By exploiting the sp…
wormholes and topological charge
S. Alexander Ridgway
I investigate solutions to the Euclidean Einstein-matter field equations with topology in a theory with a massless periodic scalar field and electromagnet…
