Abstract

We show that the recent work of Lee [23] implies existence of a large class of new singularity-free strictly static Lorentzian vacuum solutions of the Einstein equations with a negative cosmological constant. This holds in all space-time dimensions greater than or equal to four, and leads both to strictly static solutions and to black hole solutions. The construction allows in principle for metrics (whether black hole or not) with Yang-Mills-dilaton fields interacting with gravity through a Kaluza-Klein coupling.
