Global monopoles in the Brans-Dicke theory

Abstract

A gravitating global monopole produces a repulsive grativational field outside the core in addition to a solid angular deficit in the Brans-Dicke theory. As a new feature, the angular deficit is dependent on the values of ϕ_{\infty} and ω, where ϕ_{\infty} is asymptotic value of scalar field in space-like infinity and ωis the Brans-Dicke parameter.
