Abstract

Equations of motion are obtained for Yang-Mills and Higgs fields using the Georgi-Glashow SO(3)-model in a curved spherically symmetric space-time. Magnetic monopole and dion solutions and the space-time metric are found in the intrinsic gravitational field. A particlelike solution of the magnetic monopole and dion type is constructed in the external field of a static universe in the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield limit.
