Gravitating Meron-like topological solitons in massive Yang–Mills theory and the Einstein–Skyrme model

Abstract We show that Merons in D-dimensional Einstein–Massive–Yang–Mills theory can be mapped to solutions of the Einstein–Skyrme model. The identification of the solutions relies on the fact that, when considering the Meron ansatz for the gauge connection $$A=\lambda U^{-1}dU$$ A = λ U - 1 d U , t...
