Abstract

We investigate the existence of black hole solutions of four dimensional su(N) EYM theory with a negative cosmological constant. Our analysis differs from previous works in that we generalise the field equations to certain non-spherically symmetric spacetimes. We prove the existence of non-trivial solutions for any integer N, with N−1 gauge degrees of freedom. Specifically, we prove two results: existence of solutions for fixed values of the initial parameters and as |Λ|→∞, and existence of solutions for any Λ<0 in some neighbourhood of existing trivial solutions. In both cases we can prove the existence of `nodeless' solutions, i.e. such that all gauge field functions have no zeroes; this fact is of interest as we anticipate that some of them may be stable.
