Exact solutions to problems in general relativity and gravitational theory (83C15) Einstein-Maxwell equations (83C22)

Abstract: We apply the spacetime dependent lagrangian formalism [1] to the action in general relativity. We obtain a Barriola-Vilenkin type monopole solution by exploiting theelectrogravity duality of the vacuum Einstein equations and using a modified definition of empty space. An {it upper bound} is obtained on the monopole mass $tM$, $tMleq{e}^{(1-alpha)/alpha}/(1-alpha{)}^{2}tG$ where $alpha=2k$ is the global monopole charge. Keywords: global monopole, electrogravity duality, holographic principle. PACS: 11.15.-q, 11.27.+d, 14.80.Hv, 04.
