Abstract

Subject of this talk is an overview of results on self-gravitating nonabelian magnetic monopoles. The coupling to the gravitational field leads to new features absent in flat space: gravitating monopoles have unstable “radial excitations” and they exist only up to a maximal mass (related to a kind of “gravitational confinement” at the Planck scale). In addition to the globally regular monopoles there are “coloured” black holes, i.e., magnetically charged black holes carrying a non-trivial YM field outside their event horizon. The latter give rise to a violation of the “No Hair” Conjecture.
