In the search of avatars of new physics, we present a new classical solution for electromagnetic monopoles induced by global gravitational monopoles in the presence of a four-dimensional Kalb-Ramond axion field. The torsion induces the magnetic charge of the monopole.

Semilocal strings—a particular limit of electroweak strings—are an interesting example of a stable non-topological defect whose properties resemble those of their topological cousins, the Abrikosov–Nielsen–Olesen vortices. There is, however, one important difference: a network of semilocal strings will contain segments. These are ‘dumbbells’ whose ends behave almost like global monopoles that are strongly attracted to one another. While closed loops of string will eventually shrink and disappear, the segments can either shrink or grow, and a cosmological network of semilocal strings will reach a scaling regime. We discuss attempts to find a ‘thermodynamic’ description of the cosmological evolution and scaling of a network of semilocal strings, by analogy with well-known descriptions for cosmic strings and for monopoles. We propose a model for the time evolution of an overall length scale and typical velocity for the network as well as for its segments, and some supporting (preliminary) numerical evidence. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Topological avatars of new physics’.

The renormalized quantum stress–energy tensor [Formula: see text] for a massive spinor field around global monopoles is constructed within the framework of Schwinger–DeWitt approximation, valid whenever the Compton length of the quantum field is much less than the characteristic radius of the curvature of the background geometry. The results obtained show that the quantum massive spinor field in the global monopole spacetime violates all the pointwise energy conditions.

We prove that both global monopole and minimally coupled static zero mass scalar field are electrogravity dual of the Schwarzschild solution or flat space and they share the same equation of state, [Formula: see text]. This property was however known for the global monopole space–time while it is for the first time being established for the scalar field. In particular, it turns out that the Xanthopoulos–Zannias scalar field solution is dual to flat space.
