Abstract

We show the emission of the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons from the cosmological evolution of global monopoles. The NG bosons are non-thermally produced from the dynamics of global monopoles such as the pair annihilation of monopole and anti-monopole. Our numerical lattice simulations demonstrate that the spectrum of NG bosons emitted from the scaling evolution of global monopoles has a peak around the horizon scale, as in the case with the global string and the semilocal string. We also estimate the abundance of the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNG) dark matter when one (or both) of the NG modes has a soft mass.
