Abstract

We present the topological solutions of Einstein gravity in the presence of a non-Abelian Yang-Mills field. In (n+1n+1) dimensions, we consider the So(n(n1)/21,1)So(n(n-1)/2-1,1) semisimple group as the Yang-Mills gauge group, and introduce the black hole solutions with hyperbolic horizon. We argue that the 4-dimensional solution is exactly the same as the 4-dimensional solution of Einstein-Maxwell gravity, while the higher-dimensional solutions are new. We investigate the properties of the higher-dimensional solutions and find that these solutions in 5 dimensions have the same properties as the topological 5-dimensional solution of Einstein-Maxwell (EM) theory although the metric function in 5 dimensions is different. But in 6 and higher dimensions, the topological solutions of EYM and EM gravities with non-negative mass have different properties. First, the singularity of EYM solution does not present a naked singularity and is spacelike, while the singularity of topological Reissner-Nordstrom solution is timelike. Second, there are no extreme 6 or higher-dimensional black holes in EYM gravity with non-negative mass, while these kinds of solutions exist in EM gravity. Furthermore, EYM theory has no static asymptotically de Sitter solution with non-negative mass, while EM gravity has.
