Dirac plus Nambu Monopoles in the Standard Model
George Lazarides, Qaisar Shafi, Tanmay Vachaspati
We show how in the standard electroweak model three Nambu monopoles, each carrying electromagnetic (EM) and Z- magnetic fluxes, can merge (through Z-strings) with a singl…
Cosmic Strings, Inflation, and Gravity Waves
George Lazarides, Rinku Maji, Qaisar Shafi
We investigate the impact of Coleman-Weinberg inflation on the stochastic gravity wave background spectrum emitted by intermediate scale cosmic strings. The string network is parti…
Electroweak monopoles and magnetic dumbbells in grand unified theories
George Lazarides, Qaisar Shafi
We use the model to show the presence in grand unified theories of an electroweak monopole and a magnetic dumbbell ("meson") made up of a monopole-antimonopole pair connect…
Triply Charged Monopole and Magnetic Quarks
George Lazarides, Qaisar Shafi
We describe the internal composition of a topologically stable monopole carrying a magnetic charge of that arises from the spontaneous breaking of the trinification symmetry…
