Global monopoles in the Brans-Dicke theory

A gravitating global monopole produces a repulsive gravitational field outside the core in addition to a solid angular deficit in the Brans-Dicke theory. As a new feature, the angular deficit is dependent on the values of ${\phi }_{\infty }$ and $\omega ,$ where ${\phi }_{\infty }$ is the asymptotic value of the scalar field in spacelike infinity and $\omega$ is the Brans-Dicke parameter.
