Show affiliationsSpherically symmetric solutions of the SU(N) Einstein–Yang–Mills–Higgs system are constructed using the harmonic map ansatz. This way the problem reduces to solving a set of ordinary differential equations for the appropriate profile functions. In the SU(2) case, we recover the equations studied in great detail previously, while in the SU(N) (N > 2) one we find new solutions which correspond to monopole–antimonopole configurations.
