Monopoles as Big as a Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that, contrary to the standard belief, primordial monopoles expand exponentially during inflation in the new inflationary universe scenario. Moreover, inflation of monopoles continues without an end even when inflation ends in the surrounding space. Therefore primordial monopoles (as well as other topological defects produced during inflation) can serve as seeds for the process of eternal selfreproduction of inflationary universe.

Introduction to Inflationary Cosmology
The early universe according to the big bang and the grand unified theories is discussed. The shortcomings of big bang are summarized together with their resolution by inflationary cosmology. Inflation, the subsequent oscillation and decay of the inflaton, and the resulting ‘reheating’ of the universe are studied. The density perturbations produced by inflation and the temperature fluctuations ...
متن کاملFormation of Magnetic Monopoles in Hot Gauge Theories
In the non-inflationary Big Bang scenario, magnetic monopoles formed at the phase transition of the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) lead to a severe cosmological problem, because their energy density would be so high that the universe would have collapsed under its own weight a long time ago. This problem is famously solved by inflation, provided that the temperature of the universe never reaches th...
متن کاملA Semiclassical Theory for Ionization by Grand Unification Magnetic Monopoles
The idea that isolated magnetic poles might exist was first advanced over a half century ago [1], and since that time extensive theoretical and experimental work on this topic has been done [2]. There is now one candidate for the detection of a monopole [3]. Monopoles have been shown to arise in gauge theories [4], and in many versions of the grand unification theories very massive monopoles ar...
متن کاملA meshless discrete Galerkin method for solving the universe evolution differential equations based on the moving least squares approximation
In terms of observational data, there are some problems in the standard Big Bang cosmological model. Inflation era, early accelerated phase of the evolution of the universe, can successfully solve these problems. The inflation epoch can be explained by scalar inflaton field. The evolution of this field is presented by a non-linear differential equation. This equation is considered in FLRW model...
متن کاملBasics of inflationary cosmology
The early stages of the universe evolution are discussed according to the hot big bang model and the grand unified theories. The shortcomings of big bang are summarized and their resolution by inflationary cosmology is sketched. Cosmological inflation, the subsequent oscillation and decay of the inflaton field, and the resulting reheating of the universe are studied in some detail. The density ...
