Mass of Colored Black Holes

Abstract

New results pertaining to colored static black hole solutions to the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations are obtained. The isolated horizons framework is used to define the concept of Hamiltonian Horizon Mass of the black hole. An unexpected relation between the ADM and Horizon masses of the black hole solution with the ADM mass of the corresponding Bartnik-McKinnon soliton is found. These results can be generalized to other non-linear theories and they suggest a general testing bed for the instability of the corresponding hairy black holes.
