Abstract

We find that the four dimensional cosmological Einstein-Yang-Mills theory with SU(2)SU(2) gauge group admits Lifshitz spacetime as a base solution for the dynamical exponent z>1z>1. Motivated by this, we next demonstrate numerically that the field equations admit black hole solutions which behave regularly on the horizon and at spatial infinity for different horizon topologies. The solutions depend on one parameter, the strength of the gauge field at the horizon, which is fine-tuned to capture the Lifshitz asymptotics at infinity. We also discuss the behavior of solutions and the change in Hawking temperature for black holes that are large or small with respect to the length scale LL, which is itself fixed by the value of the cosmological constant.
