Formation of multiple winding topological defects in the early universe
نویسندگان
چکیده
The formation probability of multiple winding topological defects is calculated by phase and flux distribution analysis based on the Kibble mechanism. The core size of defects is taken into account so that when it is much larger than the correlation length of the Higgs field, high winding configuration can be realized. For example, if the self coupling constant of the Higgs field is smaller than 4× 10, the topological inflation may occur at the grand unification energy scale by the multiple winding string produced during the GUT phase transition.

Defect Induced Structure Formation in the Early Universe
When describing the early universe as an FRW metric and being filled with perfect fluids, there is no first principle understanding of structure formation. Instead, at high temperatures one must describe the matter as a quantum field theory. As the universe expands, this field theory will undergo phase transitions, and the possibility for topological defects arise. This paper will discuss how t...
متن کاملDefect formation in the early universe
Topological defects are common in many everyday systems. In general, they appear if a symmetry is broken at a rapid phase transition. In this article, I explain why it is believed that they should have also been formed in the early universe and how that would have happened. If topological defects are found, this will provide a way to study observationally the first fractions of a second after t...
متن کاملTopological Defects and the Formation of Structure in the Universe
Topological defects, in particular cosmic strings, give rise to an interesting mechanism for generating the primordial perturbations in the early Universe which are required to explain the present structure. An overview of the cosmic string model will be given, focusing on the predictions of the theory for the large-scale structure of the Universe and for cosmic microwave background anisotropies.
متن کاملTopological Defects and Cosmology
Many particle physics models of matter admit solutions corresponding to stable or long-lived topological defects. In the context of standard cosmology it is then unavoidable that such defects will form during phase transitions in the very early Universe. Certain types of defects lead to disastrous consequences for cosmology, others may play a useful role, as possible seeds for the formation of ...
متن کاملElectroweak baryon number non-conservation and “topological condensates” in the early Universe
In this paper we focus on the first condition. Non-perturbative electroweak baryogenesis offers the intriguing possibility that topological features of the Standard Model might be (in part) responsible for baryon and lepton number violation in the early Universe [2, 3, 4, 5]. In this talk we argue that electroweak baryogenesis in the early Universe is accompanied by the formation of a “topologi...
