The observed amplitude of a stochastic signal can be translated into a range for the cosmic string tension and the mass of magnetic monopoles arising in theories of grand unification. In a sizable part of the parameter space, this interpretation predicts a large stochastic gravitational wave signal in the frequency band of ground-based interferometers, which can be probed in the very near future. We confront these results with predictions from successful inflation, leptogenesis and dark matter from the spontaneous breaking of a gauged B − L symmetry.}, keywords = {* Automatic Keywords * (INSPIRE) / gravitational radiation: stochastic (INSPIRE) / gravitational radiation: background (INSPIRE) / magnetic monopole: mass (INSPIRE) / cosmic string (INSPIRE) / spontaneous symmetry breaking (INSPIRE) / grand unified theory (INSPIRE) / interferometer (INSPIRE) / string tension (INSPIRE) / leptogenesis (INSPIRE) / dark matter (INSPIRE) / B-L number (INSPIRE) / inflation (INSPIRE) / LIGO (INSPIRE)}, cin = {T}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)T-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF3-611)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-611}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, eprint = {2009.10649}, howpublished = {arXiv:2009.10649}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:2009.10649;\%\%$}, UT = {WOS:000612225400056}, doi = {10.1016/j.physletb.2020.135914}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/452354}, }
