Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 191601 (2008) [4 pages]Colorful Horizons with Charge in Anti–de Sitter SpaceReceived 4 August 2008; published 6 November 2008 An Abelian gauge symmetry can be spontaneously broken near a black hole horizon in anti–de Sitter space using a condensate of non-Abelian gauge fields. A second order phase transition is shown to separate Reissner–Nordström–anti–de Sitter solutions from a family of symmetry-breaking solutions which preserve a diagonal combination of gauge invariance and spatial rotational invariance. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
