Abstract: (APS)
If heavy magnetic monopoles exist, then extreme magnetically charged black holes (P2=M2) with masses as small as 150[(1017GeV)/μ]2 g will be stable against evaporation over periods of 1010 yr or longer, where μ is the mass of the lightest monopole. It appears unlikely that such black holes exist in the present universe, but this conclusion depends strongly on the details of the first 10−24 sec of the universe. Such long-lived small holes will exist in the late universe if there is at least 1 monopole per 1050[(1017GeV)/μ]6 baryons in the universe.
