The possible existence of a complex metric tensor field is studied. We show that an effective scalar field is induced by an overall phase component of the complex metric tensor. The corresponding gauge field is shown to be a tachyon.…
We construct new finite energy regular solutions in Einstein-Yang-Mills-SU(2) theory. They are static, axially symmetric and approach at infinity the anti-de Sitter spacetime background. These configurations are characterized by a pair of…
We consider solutions of the Yang-Mills-Higgs system coupled to gravity in asymptotically de Sitter spacetime. The basic features of two classes of solutions are discussed, one of them corresponding to magnetic monopoles, the other one to…
Flat-space limit is well-defined for asymptotically AdS spacetimes written in coordinates called the BMS gauge. For the three-dimensional Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant, we calculate the quasi-local energy momentum…
We find static spherically symmetric dyons in Einstein-Born-Infeld-Higgs model in 3+1 dimensions. The solutions share many features with the gravitating monopoles in the same model. In particular, they exist only up to some critical value…
We discuss self-gravitating global O(3) monopole solutions associated with the spontaneous breaking of O(3) down to a global O(2) in an extended Gauss Bonnet theory of gravity in (3+1)-dimensions, in the presence of a non-trivial scalar…
By studying a tachyon field on the DGP brane model, in order to embed the 4D standard Friedmann equation with a brane tachyon field in 5D bulk, the metric of the 5D spacetime is presented. Then, adopting the inverse square potential of…
In this work, we investigate a static spherically symmetric system in which Einstein gravity is minimally coupled with a self-interacting complex scalar field and a nonlinear electromagnetic field, referred to as Hayward axion stars.…
We discuss the linearization of Einstein equations in the presence of a cosmological constant, by expanding the solution for the metric around a flat Minkowski space-time. We demonstrate that one can find consistent solutions to the…
We impose in the nonsymmetric gravitational theory, by means of Lagrange multiplier fields in the action, a set of covariant constraints on the antisymmetric tensor field. The canonical Hamiltonian constraints in the weak field…
We obtain new exact solutions in Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity of every odd dimension higher than three. These new spacetimes are stationary but non-static, coupled with the Maxwell field, and asymptotic AdS at least locally. In order to…
We study the dynamics of a general scalar field, a tachyon or an ordinary scalar, in the presence of world-volume massless fields in the DBI effective theory by exploring their exact solutions. The obtained solutions indicate that the…
We investigate de Sitter solutions of $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity with an F-term scalar potential near a no-scale Minkowski point, as they may in particular arise from flux compactifications in string theory. We show that a large class of…
We first reconstruct the conserved (Abbott-Deser) charges in the spin connection formalism of gravity for asymptotically (Anti)-de Sitter spaces, and then compute the masses of the AdS soliton and the recently found Eguchi-Hanson solitons…
In the framework of Einstein-Maxwell-axion theory we consider static spherically symmetric solutions, which describe a magnetic monopole in the axionic environment. These solutions are interpreted as the solutions for an axionic dyon, the…
We study the Yang-Mills-Higgs system within the framework of general relativity. In the static situation, using Bogomol'nyi type analysis, we derive a positive-definite energy functional which has a lower bound. Specializing to the gauge…
Scaling behavior in the moduli space of monopole and dyon solutions in the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in the asymptotically anti-de Sitter space is derived. The mass of monopoles and dyons scales with respect to their magnetic and electric…
We propose a general method for solving exactly the static field equations of Einstein and Einstein-Maxwell gravity minimally coupled to a scalar field. Our method starts from an ansatz for the scalar field profile, and determines, together…
We investigate a string theoretic cosmological model in the context of the gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model. Our model is based on a product of non-compact coset space and a spectator flat space; $[SL(2,R)/U(1)]_k \times {\bf R}^2$. We…
We show that the exact static, i.e. `anti-gravitating', magnetic multi monopole solutions of the Einstein/Maxwell/dilaton-YM/Higgs equations found by Kastor, London, Traschen, and the authors, for arbitrary non-zero dilaton coupling…
