Abstract

We discuss how in supersymmetric models with D and F-flat directions, a primordial monopole flux of order 10-16 - 10-18 cm-2 sec-1 sr-1 can coexist with the observed baryon asymmetry. A modified Affleck-Dine scenario yields the desired asymmetry if the monopoles are superheavy (~ 1013-1018 GeV). For lighter monopoles with masses ~ 109-1012 GeV, the baryon asymmetry can arise via TeV scale leptogenesis.
