Abstract
We present a model for efficient annihilation of magnetic monopoles which is accomplished by breaking the electromagnetic gauge invariance for an appropriate range of temperature during the radiation dominated epoch of the early universe. Except for the brief period when electromagnetism is broken, the gauge-group symmetry is SU (3)c × SU (2)L × U (1)Y between the grand unification and electroweak transition temperature scales. The model consists of a standard Higgs doublet, a charged singlet and an uncharged singlet, and it is shown to work for a very general set of parameters with none of the scalar coupling constants being, necessarily, either too large or too small. The uncharged singlet can easily give adequately large Majorana mass to the right-handed neutrinos making baryogenesis possible through the decay of heavy right-handed neutrinos and sphaleron interactions.
