What's the mathematical explanation of the emergence of magnetic monopoles during the early universe?
I would "simply" like to know the full mathematical explanation of:
Why do these topological defects occur in the first place?
And more importantly,
Why must these defects/particles carry ...

Monopole problem
Original question: So theory predicts that the monople number density at time of GUT was $10^{82}$ per cubic meter, due to inflation it's diluted and today it's about $10^{-16}$ per cubic Mpc.
This is ...

Magnetic monopole in CPT universe model
I've recently read this paper CPT universe, and a thought came into my mind.
Is it possible to discuss magnetic monopole based on this CPT universe model?
This paper points out that some mysterious ...

Is there an estimate for how many monopoles would be produced in the very early universe?
The question really hits it with this one. I haven't really found some good numbers other than the whole “It'd be so many (per Hubble vol) to recollapse the universe”. I don't know if that comes of as ...
