For the first time, exact solutions for the full self-consistent Einstein-Y
ang-Mills-Dirac systems with gauge groups SU(2) and SU(4) in Robertson-Walk
er space-time RxS(3) are presented, which are symmetric under the action of
the group SO(4) of spatial rotations. The approach is based on the dimensi
onal reduction method for gauge, spinor, and gravitational fields and relat
es symmetric solutions in EYMD theory to certain solutions of an effective
dynamic system. The solutions are interpreted as solutions of the cosmologi
cal type with an oscillating Yang-Mills field, which exchanges energy with
a spinor field. The explicit form of the solution for the spinor field show
s that its energy changes the sign in the process of the evolution of the Y
ang-Mills field from one vacuum to another. (C) 1999 American Institute of
