A magnetic monopole with gravitational topological charge

A selfconsistent U(1)-gauge model in a gravitational field is investigated. The exact solution of the corresponding field equations is obtained. This solution is singularity-free at r ≠ 0 and can be interpreted as a magnetic monopole. The stability of this monopole is guaranteed by its gravitational...

Summary:A selfconsistent U(1)-gauge model in a gravitational field is investigated. The exact solution of the corresponding field equations is obtained. This solution is singularity-free at r ≠ 0 and can be interpreted as a magnetic monopole. The stability of this monopole is guaranteed by its gravitational topological charge, which will be calculated explicitly.
