CAN SYMMETRY NON-RESTORATION SOLVE THE MONOPOLE PROBLEM

We reexamine a recently proposed non-inflationary solution to the mono pole problem, based on the possibility that spontaneously broken Grand -Unified symmetries do not get restored at high temperature. We go bey ond leading order by studying the self-consistent one-loop equations o f the model. We find large next-to-leading corrections that reverse th e lowest order results and cause symmetry restoration at high temperat ure.
