A variety of observations impose upper limits at the nano Gauss level on magnetic fields that
are coherent on inter-galactic scales while blazar observations indicate a lower bound∼ …

Despite decades of attempts to reveal its flaws, the Standard Model of particle physics (SM)
has withstood all experimental tests and its predictions are in excellent agreement with data …

Many symmetry breaking patterns in grand unified theories (GUTs) give rise to cosmic
strings that eventually decay when pairs of GUT monopoles spontaneously nucleate along …

We analyze Higgs condensate bubble expansion during a first-order electroweak phase
transition in the early Universe. The interaction of particles with the bubble wall can be …

There are fundamental relations between three vast areas of physics: particle physics,
cosmology and condensed matter physics. The fundamental links between the first two …

The study of cosmic phase transitions are of central interest in modern cosmology. In the
standard model of cosmology the Universe begins in a very hot state, right after at the end of …

This review concerns the origin and the possible effects of magnetic fields in the early
Universe. We start by providing the reader with a short overview of the current state of the art …

This is the first text on the modern theory of superconductivity. It deals with the behaviour of
superconductors in external fields varying in time, and with transport phenomena in …

Kinks and domain walls are the simplest kind of solitons and are invaluable for testing
various ideas and for learning about non-perturbative aspects of field theories. They are the …

The purpose of this paper is to describe a relationship between the moduli space of vortices
and the moduli space of instantons. We study charge vortices in Yang-Mills-Higgs theories …
