Gravitational dipole
Gravitational fields generated by global monopoles are discussed. In the case of a single isovector scalar field, a global monopole at rest creates essentially no gravitational field. If there are instead several scalar fields, there can be configurations which lead to gravitational fields with nontrivial properties, in particular, gravitational dipoles. These fields may be important at cosmological scales.
