We construct a generic class of models for complex scalar fields -- minimally coupled to gravity and electromagnetism -- with the property that their energy-momentum tensor and the electric current vanish for certain massive configurations.…
Subject of this talk is an overview of results on self-gravitating solitons of the classical Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. One finds essentially two classes of solitons, one of them corresponding to the magnetic monopoles the other one to the…
