Global monopole solutions in Horava gravity

In Horava's theory of gravity coupled to a global monopole source, we seek for static, spherically symmetric spacetime solutions for general values of $λ$. We obtain the explicit solutions with deficit solid angles, in the IR modified Horava gravity model, at the IR fixed point $λ=1$ and at the conformal point $λ=1/3$. For the other values of $1>λ>0$ we also find special solutions to the inhomogenous equation of the gravity model with detailed balance, and we discuss an possibility of astrophysical applications of the $λ=1/2$ solution that has a deficit angle for a finite range.
