Core Phase Structure of Cosmic Strings and Monopoles

Abstract

Global and local symmetries may or may not be restored inside topological defects depending upon the values of the parameters of the model. A detailed study of this parameter dependence of the core structure of strings and monopoles is presented in the context of simple models.
