Abstract

Higher dimensional, direct analogues of the usual d = 4 Einstein–Yang-Mills (EYM) systems are studied. These consist of the gravitational and Yang-Mills hierarchies in d = 4p dimensional spacetimes, both consisting of 2p-form curvature terms only. Regular and black hole solutions are constructed in 2p + 2 ≤ d ≤ 4p, in which dimensions the total mass-energy is finite, generalising the familiar Bartnik-McKinnon solutions in EYM theory for p = 1. In d = 4p, this similarity is complete. In the special case of d = 2p + 1, just beyond the finite energy range of d, exact solutions in closed form are found. Finally, d = 2p + 1 purely gravitational systems, whose solutions generalise the static d = 3 BTZ solutions, are discussed.
