An existence proof for the gravitating BPS monopole

Understand

We prove the existence of the gravitating BPS monopole in Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs (EYMH) theory.

• Existence is established using a Newtonian perturbation argument which shows that a Yang-Mills-Higgs BPS monopole solution can be be continued analytically in powers of $1/c^{2}$ to an EYMH solution.
