Abstract
We present an approximate solution of the Einstein equations for the metric outside a monopole resulting from the breaking of a global O(3) symmetry. The monopole exerts practically no gravitational force on nonrelativistic matter, but the space around it has a deficit solid angle, and all light rays are deflected by the same angle, independent of the impact parameter.
