Abstract
A simple, closed-form solution to the Yang-Mills field equations is presented which has a non-Abelian firewall - a spherical "horizon" where the energy density diverges. By the gravity/gauge duality, this non-Abelian firewall implies the existence of a gravitational firewall. Gravitational firewalls have been proposed as a way of resolving the information loss paradox, but at the cost of violating the equivalence principle.
