Static solutions to the Einstein-Vlasov system with non-vanishing cosmological constant

We construct spherically symmetric, static solutions to the Einstein-Vlasov system with non-vanishing cosmological constant $Λ$. The results are divided as follows. For small $Λ>0$ we show existence of globally regular solutions which coincide with the Schwarzschild-deSitter solution in the exterior of the matter sources. For $Λ<0$ we show via an energy estimate the existence of globally regular solutions which coincide with the Schwarzschild-Anti-deSitter solution in the exterior vacuum region. We also construct solutions with a Schwarzschild singularity at the center regardless of the sign of $Λ$. For all solutions considered, the energy density and the pressure components have bounded support. Finally, we point out a straightforward method to obtain a large class of globally non-vacuum spacetimes with topologies $\mathbb R\times S^3$ and $\mathbb R\times S^2\times \mathbb R$ which arise from our solutions using the periodicity of the Schwarzschild-deSitter solution. A subclass of these solutions contains black holes of different masses.
