Gravitating non-Abelian solitons and hairy black holes in higher dimensions
Mikhail S. Volkov
This is a short review of classical solutions with gravitating Yang-Mills fields in spacetime dimensions. The simplest SO(4) symmetric particlelike and SO(3) symmetric vortex…
Einstein--Yang--Mills strings
Dmitri V. Gal'tsov, Evgeny A. Davydov, Mikhail S. Volkov
We present globally regular vortex-type solutions for a pure SU(2) Yang-Mills field coupled to gravity in 3+1 dimensions. These gravitating vortices are static, cylindrically symme…
Superconducting Electroweak Strings
Mikhail S. Volkov
Classical solutions describing strings endowed with an electric charge and carrying a constant electromagnetic current are constructed within the bosonic sector of the Electroweak…
Twisted Superconducting Semilocal Strings
Peter Forgacs, Sebastien Reuillon, Mikhail S. Volkov
A new class of twisted, current carrying, stationary, straight string solutions having finite energy per unit length is constructed numerically in an extended Abelian Higgs model w…
