Monopoles, Strings, Walls and Gravitational waves

Rinku Maji, Qaisar Shafi

The gauge symmetry breaking $S U (2) \to U (1) \to Z_{2} \to 1$ successively produces monopoles, strings and domain walls bounded by strings (WBS), with the elementary monopole carrying…

Magnetic monopoles and high frequency gravitational waves from quasi-stable strings

Rinku Maji, Qaisar Shafi

The spontaneous breaking of $S O (10)$ via flipped $S U (5)$ to the Standard Model yields a novel scenario in which the superheavy topologically stable GUT monopole carrying a single u…

Superconducting Strings in $E_{6}$

Rinku Maji, Qaisar Shafi

We discuss the appearance of superconducting strings in $E_{6}$ grand unification, keeping track of the magnetic monopole flux that precedes the formation of the string flux tube. Th…

Cogenesis of baryon and lepton number asymmetries matching the EMPRESS Data

Kyu Jung Bae, Arghyajit Datta, Rinku Maji +1

We show that a simple supersymmetric $U (1)_{B - L}$ extension of the standard model can explain simultaneously the large electron neutrino asymmetry hinted by the recent EMPRESS data…

Superheavy Metastable Strings in SO(10)

Rinku Maji, Qaisar Shafi

The spontaneous breaking of $S O (10)$ grand unified symmetry to $S U (3)_{c} \times S U (2)_{L} \times U (1)_{Y} \times U (1)_{χ}$ yields the GUT monopole as well as a comparably heavy $U (1)_{χ}$ m…
