It is proven that there are precisely $n$ odd-parity sphaleron-like unstable modes of the $n$-th Bartnik-McKinnon soliton and the $n$-th non-abelian black hole solution of the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory for the gauge group $SU(2)$.
We prove the instability of the gravitating regular sphaleron solutions of the $SU(2)$ Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs system with a Higgs doublet, by studying the frequency spectrum of a class of radial perturbations. With the help of a…
