Topological Defects in Cosmology
Topological Defects like magnetic monopoles, cosmic strings, domain walls, etc., could have formed during symmetry breaking phase transitions in the early universe. We give an overview of the implications of topological defects for cosmology, with particular emphasis on their possible role as sources of the extremely high energy cosmic rays detected in several recent cosmic ray experiments; the...
متن کاملTopological Defects in SUSY
Topological defects are general consequences of almost all symmetry breaking processes. They arise naturally when a system goes through a phase transition from a symmetric phase to a phase in which the symmetry is broken. The formation and the evolution of cosmic topological defects in the early (or late) Universe has many direct and observable consequences that may allow us to constrain possib...
متن کاملTopological Defects in Cosmology*
The scenario of a cosmology with topological defects is surveyed starting from the field theoretic aspects and ending with a description of large-scale structure formation and magnetic field generation. * Lectures delivered at ICTP, Trieste, July 1993.
متن کاملTopological properties of integer networks
Inspired by Pythagoras’s belief that numbers represent the reality, we study the topological properties of networks of composite numbers, in which the vertices represent the numbers and two vertices are connected if and only if there exists a divisibility relation between them. The network has a fairly large clustering coefficient C 0:34, which is insensitive to the size of the network. The ave...
متن کاملTopological blockade and measurement of topological charge.
The fractionally charged quasiparticles appearing in the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall plateau are predicted to have an extra nonlocal degree of freedom, known as topological charge. We show how this topological charge can block the tunneling of these particles, and how such topological blockade can be used to read out their topological charge. We argue that the short time scale required for this...
