Abstract | |||||||||
| According to previous work on magnetic monopoles, static regular solutions are nonexistent if the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field $\eta$ is larger than a critical value $\eta_{{\rm cr}}$, which is of the order of the Planck mass. In order to understand the properties of monopoles for $\eta>\eta_{{\rm cr}}$, we investigate their dynamics numerically and classify those dynamical solutions into three types as follows. If $\eta$ is larger than another critical value $\eta_{{\rm inf}}~(>\eta_{{\rm cr}})$, a monopole inflates and a wormhole structure appears around it. In the case of $\eta_{{\rm cr}}.
