Dynamical Breaking of CPT Symmetry in Defect Networks and Baryogenesis
Tomislav Prokopec, Robert Brandenberger, Anne C. Davis +1
Based on a study of {\it charge,} (C), {\it parity} (P) and {\it time reversal} (T) symmetries we show how a CP violating network of defects in the early Universe may bias baryon n…
Examples of Embedded Defects (in Particle Physics and Condensed Matter)
Nathan F. Lepora, Anne-Christine Davis
We present a series of examples designed to clarify the formalism of the companion paper `Embedded Vortices'. After summarising this formalism in a prescriptive sense, we run throu…
Embedded Vortices
Nathan F. Lepora, Anne-Christine Davis
We present a discussion of embedded vortices in general Yang-Mills theories. The origin of a family structure of solutions is shown to be group theoretic in nature and a procedure…
Cosmic Strings are Current-Carrying
Anne-Christine Davis, Patrick Peter
A synthesis of previous work done on the microscopic structure of cosmic strings in realistic models is made and reveals that strings are expected to be not only superconducting in…
EMBEDDED DEFECTS AND SYMMETRY BREAKING IN FLIPPED
Anne-Christine Davis, Nathan F. Lepora
We explicitly show the analogy between the symmetry breaking scheme for the GUT flipped with that of the Weinberg-Salam theory of electroweak interactions. This allows us t…
