Gravitating Non-Abelian Solitons and Black Holes with Yang-Mills Fields
read the original abstract
We present a review of gravitating particle-like and black hole solutions with non-Abelian gauge fields. The emphasis is given to the description of the structure of the solutions and to the connection with the results of flat space soliton physics. We describe the Bartnik-McKinnon solitons and the non-Abelian black holes arising in the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory, and their various generalizations. These include axially symmetric and slowly rotating configurations, solutions with higher gauge groups, $\Lambda$-term, dilaton, and higher curvature corrections. The stability issue is discussed as well. We also describe the gravitating generalizations for flat space monopoles, sphalerons, and Skyrmions.

(Super-)renormalizable hairy meronic black holes
Analytical black hole solutions are constructed in Einstein-Maxwell-Yang-Mills theory with conformally coupled scalars, generalizing MTZ and AC solutions by including non-Abelian gauge fields determined by horizon curvature.

Bounds on the photon sphere radius for spherically symmetric black holes in n-dimensional Einstein gravity
Upper bound r_γ ≤ [(n-1)M]^{1/(n-3)} and lower bound r_γ ≥ ((n-1)/2)^{1/(n-3)} r_H on the photon sphere for nD black holes with anisotropic matter obeying the weak energy condition and non-positive trace.
