It is possible that the expansion of the universe began with an inflationary phase, in which the inflaton driving the process also was a Higgs field capable of stabilizing magnetic monopoles in a grand-unified gauge theory. If so, then the smallness of intensity fluctuations observed in the cosmic microwave background radiation implies that the self-coupling of the inflaton-Higgs field was exceedingly weak. It is argued here that the resulting broad, flat maximum in the Higgs potential makes the presence or absence of a topological zero in the field insignificant for inflation. There may be monopoles present in the universe, but the universe itself is not in the inflating core of a giant magnetic monopole.

We study the variational principle on a Hilbert-Einstein action in an extended geometry with torsion taking into account non-trivial boundary conditions. We obtain an effective energy-momentum tensor that has its source in the torsion, which represents the matter geometrically induced. We explore about the existence of magnetic monopoles and gravitational waves in this torsional geometry. We conclude that the boundary terms can be identified as possible sources for the cosmological constant and torsion as the source of magnetic monopoles. We examine an example in which gravitational waves are produced during a de Sitter inflationary expansion of the universe.
We study a traversable wormhole originated by a transformation over the 4D Dymnikova metric which describes analytic Black-Holes (BH). By using a transformation of coordinates which is adapted from the used in the Einstein-Rosen bridge, we study a specific family of geodesics in which a test particle with non-zero electric charge induces an effective magnetic monopole, that is perceived by observers outside the wormhole. Because the Riemannian geometry cannot explain the presence of magnetic monopoles, then we propose a torsional geometry in order to explore the possibility that magnetic monopoles can be geometrically induced. We obtain an expression that relates torsion and magnetic fields jointly with a Dirac-like expression for magnetic and electric charges, such that torsion makes possible define a fundamental length that provides a magnetic field and a spacetime discretization.
We review the hypothesis of the existence of gravitational magnetic monopoles (H-pole for short) defined in analogy with the Diracs hypothesis of magnetic monopoles in electrodynamics. These hypothetical dual particles violate the equivalence principle and are accelerated by a gravitational field. We propose an expression for the gravitational force exerted upon an H-pole. According to GR ordinary matter (which we call E-poles) follows geodesics in a background metric. The dual H-poles follows geodesics in an effective metric.
I use Unified Spinor Fields (USF), to discuss the creation of magnetic monopoles during preinflation, as excitations of the quantum vacuum coming from a condensate of massive charged vector bosons. For a primordial universe with total energy $M_p$, and for magnetic monopoles created with a total Planck magnetic charge $q_M=q_P=pm e/sqrt{alpha}$ and a total mass $m_M$, it is obtained after quantisation of the action that the fine-structure constant is given by: $alpha= frac{5}{6} left(1- frac{16 ,m_M}{5 ,M_p}right) ,left(frac{e}{q_M}right)^2$. If these magnetic monopoles were with total magnetic charge $q_M=pm e$ and a small mass $m=m_M/n$, there would be a large number of small quantum magnetic monopoles which could be candidates to explain the presence of dark matter with a $30.97,%$ of the energy in the primordial universe at the Planck era. The case of milli-magnetically charged particles is also analysed. We demonstrate that magnetic monopoles (MM) with masses less than $3.6times 10^3$ GeV, can exist with a very small charges of up to $10^{-14},e$, which are quantities of interest for searches to be performed in the ATLAS and MoEDAL experiments.
We extend some previous attempts to explain the origin and evolution of primordial magnetic fields during inflation induced from a 5D vacuum. We show that the usual quantum fluctuations of a generalized 5D electromagnetic field cannot provide us with the desired magnetic seeds. We show that special fields without propagation on the extra non-compact dimension are needed to arrive to appreciable magnetic strengths. We also identify a new magnetic tensor field $B_{ij}$ in this kind of extra dimensional theories. Our results are in very good agreement with observational requirements, in particular from TeV Blazars and CMB radiation limits we obtain that primordial cosmological magnetic fields should be close scale invariance.
