On Electrogravity Duality

Abstract

By resolving the gravitational field into electric and magnetic parts, we define an electrogravity duality transformation and discover an interesting property of the field. Under the duality transformation a vacuum/flat spacetime maps into the original spacetime with a topological defect of global monopole/texture. The elctrogravity-duality is thus a topological defect generating process. It turns out that all black hole solutions possess dual solutions that imbibe a global monopole.
