Characterizing asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes with abundant
stable gauge field hair
   [PDF]

Ben L. Shepherd, Elizabeth Winstanley
In the light of the "no-hair" conjecture, we revisit stable black holes in
su(N) Einstein-Yang-Mills theory with a negative cosmological constant. These
black holes are endowed with copious amounts of gauge field hair, and we
address the question of whether these black holes can be uniquely characterized
by their mass and a set of global non-Abelian charges defined far from the
black hole. For the su(3) case, we present numerical evidence that stable black
hole configurations are fixed by their mass and two non-Abelian charges. For
general N, we argue that the mass and N-1 non-Abelian charges are sufficient to
characterize large stable black holes, in keeping with the spirit of the
"no-hair" conjecture, at least in the limit of very large magnitude
cosmological constant and for a large subspace of the total space of stable
black holes.
