Topological Defects and the Formation of Structure in the Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Study of Stone-wales Defect on Elastic Properties of Single-layer Graphene Sheets by an Atomistic based Finite Element Model
In this paper, an atomistic based finite element model is developed to investigate the influence of topological defects on mechanical properties of graphene. The general in-plane stiffness matrix of the hexagonal network structure of graphene is found. Effective elastic modulus of a carbon ring is determined from the equivalence of molecular potential energy related to stretch and angular defor...
متن کاملTopological structure on generalized approximation space related to n-arry relation
Classical structure of rough set theory was first formulated by Z. Pawlak in [6]. The foundation of its object classification is an equivalence binary relation and equivalence classes. The upper and lower approximation operations are two core notions in rough set theory. They can also be seenas a closure operator and an interior operator of the topology induced by an equivalence relation on a u...
متن کاملDefect 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 کاملTopological Defects and Structure Formation ⋆
Topological defects are produced during phase transitions in the very early Universe. They arise in most unified theories of strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions. These lectures focus on the role of topological defects in cosmology, with particular emphasis on the models of structure formation based on defects. The role of topological defects in baryogenesis is also reviewed. ⋆ Based o...
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 ...
