We discuss gravitational magnetic bags, i.e. clusters of large number of monopoles in presence of gravitational effects. Physics depends on the dimensionless ratio between the vev of the Higgs field at infinity and the Planck mass. We solve the equations for the gravitational bags, and study the transition from monopole to black hole. The critical coupling for this transition is $v_{cr} = \sqrt{\pi}/(4 \sqrt{G})$, and it is larger than that of a single 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole. We investigate in detail the black-hole limit.

    Monopole bags in axionic backgrounds gravitationally collapse into horizonless states or dyonic regular black holes that evade singularities while retaining axionic hair.

  2. Gravitational Properties of the Monopole Bag

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Monopole bags in axion models can collapse into horizonless objects or dyonic regular black holes that evade singularities and retain axionic structure through Chern-Simons effects.
