The universe out of a monopole in the laboratory?
arXiv:gr-qc/0602084 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.74.024026
Abstract
To explore the possibility that an inflationary universe can be created out of a stable particle in the laboratory, we consider the classical and quantum dynamics of a magnetic monopole in the thin-shell approximation. Classically there are three types of solutions: stable, collapsing and inflating monopoles. We argue that the transition from a stable monopole to an inflating one could occur either by collision with a domain wall or by quantum tunneling.
