Abstract

Spherically symmetric solutions of the SU(N) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs system are constructed using the harmonic map ansatz. This way the problem reduces to solving a set of ordinary differential equations for the appropriate profile functions. In the SU(2) case, we recover the equations studied in great detail previously, while in the SU(N) (N > 2) one we find new solutions which correspond to monopole-antimonopole configurations.
