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.

  1. Stable colored black holes with quartic self-interactions

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Analytic proof that branch I of non-Abelian black holes with quartic interactions is linearly stable while branch II is unstable, based on the sign of the effective potential in even and odd perturbation sectors.

  2. Stable colored black holes with quartic self-interactions

    gr-qc 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0

    Branch I of non-Abelian black holes with quartic self-interactions is linearly stable for all regular parameter values of the coupling χ.

  3. (Super-)renormalizable hairy meronic black holes

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.

  4. Universality of merons in non-Abelian gauge theories

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Merons are universal in many non-Abelian gauge theories and source regular black holes and Euclidean wormholes via a non-Abelian Ayón-Beato-García generalization.

  5. Charged nutty black holes are hairy

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Misner strings accompanying charged nutty black holes carry effective electric and magnetic charges via singular field flows with nonzero divergence, creating observable short-range electromagnetic hair.

  6. Bounds on the photon sphere radius for spherically symmetric black holes in n-dimensional Einstein gravity

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.
