We propose a scenario in which the cosmological domain wall and monopole problems are solved without any fine tuning of the initial conditions or parameters in the Lagrangian of an underlying filed theory. In this scenario domain walls sweep out (unwind) the monopoles from the early universe, then the fast primordial black holes perforate the domain walls, change their topology and destroy them. We find further that the (old vacuum) energy density released from the domain walls could alleviate but not solve the cosmological flatness problem.

  1. Magnetic Monopoles -- From Dirac to the Large Hadron Collider

    hep-ex 2026-05 unverdicted

    Magnetic monopoles are theoretically well-motivated but remain unobserved after extensive searches in cosmic rays and at particle colliders such as the LHC.
