Cosmic Strings and Other Topological Defects (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) by A. Vilenkin (PDF)

Description

This book is a comprehensive and coherent introduction to the role of cosmic strings and other topological defects in the universe. After an introduction to standard cosmological theory and the theory of phase transitions in the early universe, the book then describes, in turn, the properties, formation, and cosmological implications of cosmic strings, monopoles, domain walls and textures. It concludes with a chapter considering the role of topological defects in inflationary universe models. Ample introductory material is included to make the book readily accessible. It will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “…a model of scientific exposition…should prove to be an invaluable reference for students and researchers in high-energy theory, providing a nice overview of a fairly large body of work.” Nature”Their book is a remarkably complete and authoritative review of the broad range of physics issues underlying it.” Science”…comprehensive and elaborate monograph….This is an excellent book…” Mathematical Reviews Book Description Comprehensive introduction to the role of cosmic strings and other topological defects in the universe.

⭐thank you

⭐ok

⭐Although this book is becoming somewhat dated, it is still a must for those working in the field.

⭐This is a good text, but written at an advanced level. Students who are interested in learning this material should perhaps read an introduction to particle physics first.
