These ferromagnetic domain walls are caracterized by vanishing effective surface energy density avoiding, thus, the do- main wall problem. Moreover we find that the domain walls generate a magnetic field B ≃ 1024 Gauss at the electroweak scale which ac- count for the seed field in the so called dynamo mechanism for the cosmological primordial magnetic field. We find that the annihilation 5 processes of walls with size R ≃ 10 Km could release an energy of order 1052 erg indicating the invisible ferromagnetic walls as possible compact sources of Gamma Ray Bursts. 1 Recently there was a renewed interest in the phenomenon of the sponta- neous generation of the magnetic condensate both at zero [1] and finite [2, 3] temperature in three-dimens
