Erik Baxter

Erik Baxter is a Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, affiliated with the College of Business, Technology and Engineering. He specializes in mathematical physics, focusing on SU(N) Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in anti-de Sitter space, with an emphasis on black holes and solitonic solutions. His teaching spans all academic levels, including supervision of undergraduate dissertations on topics such as black holes, warp field theory, time travel models, and quantum mechanics. His research integrates quantum and relativistic principles, addressing complex theoretical systems in gravitational physics.

Research Interests: His current work centers on dyonic black holes, solitonic structures, and global charge characterization in anti-de Sitter spacetime. He explores solutions to Einstein-Yang-Mills equations with compact semisimple gauge groups, investigating topological properties and stability of black hole configurations. His studies also encompass hairy black holes and solitons in the context of negative cosmological constants.
