Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to give a brief review of magnetic monopoles, concentrating on gauge theories and cosmology. In Section 2 we make an introduction to the subject, while in Section 3 we present the electric-magnetic duality and the symmetry of Maxwell’s equations when monopoles are included in the theory. Section 4 deals with gauge theories and especially Dirac and ’t Hooft-Polyakov monopole. Sections 5 and 6 examine the cosmological point of view on the subject; Section 5 provides an introduction to General Relativity and the basic cosmological model (Friedmann models), while in section 6 we discuss some problems in the standard cosmological model, including the monopole problem, and we present the inflationary solution to these puzzles. Finally, in Section 7, we present some searches for magnetic monopoles and their influence in condensed matter physics.
