abstract

We show that spontaneous breaking of discrete or continuous symmetries does not necessarily imply either symmetry restoration or the thermal production of defects at high temperature (at least up to $T \sim M_{Planck}$). This may imply that there is no domain wall problem. As an example we show how this applies to the Peccei-Quinn scenario.

  1. Transient Bias for CP Domain Wall Decay and Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new scalar induces transient bias to decay CP domain walls from spontaneous CP violation while its oscillations constitute dark matter.

  2. Vacuum Instability and False Vacuum Decay Induced by Domain Walls in the N2HDM

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Domain walls in the N2HDM can erase the barrier around the electroweak vacuum, making long-lived metastable vacua decay classically and excluding parameter points previously considered viable.

  3. Flavor Hierarchies the Right Way

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Universal seesaw under a chiral U(1)_R forbids ordinary Yukawas except the top, generates charged-fermion and neutrino hierarchies, and realizes tree-level Nelson-Barr protection of strong CP.

  4. Exploring the Landscape of Spontaneous CP Violation in Supersymmetric Theories

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Spontaneous CP violation is realized in SUSY via an extended spurion formalism in the exact limit and a model with intermediate-scale breaking along pseudo-flat directions stabilized by soft terms and non-perturbative...

  5. C-parity, magnetic monopoles and higher frequency gravitational waves

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The C-string-wall network from SO(10) breaking with unbroken C-parity produces a gravitational wave background peaking between 100 Hz and 100 kHz for intermediate breaking scales around 10^10 to 10^12 GeV.
