Abstract

In Horava's theory of gravity coupled to a global monopole source, we seek for static, spherically symmetric spacetime solutions for general values of λ\lambda. We obtain the explicit solutions with deficit solid angles, in the IR modified Horava gravity model, at the IR fixed point λ=1\lambda=1 and at the conformal point λ=1/3\lambda=1/3. For the other values of 1>λ>01>\lambda>0 we also find special solutions to the inhomogenous equation of the gravity model with detailed balance, and we discuss an possibility of astrophysical applications of the λ=1/2\lambda=1/2 solution that has a deficit angle for a finite range.
