We review a class of non-topological defects in the standard electroweak model, and their implications. Starting with the semilocal string, which provides a counterexample to many well known properties of topological vortices, we discuss electroweak strings and their stability with and without external influences such as magnetic fields. Other known properties of electroweak strings and monopoles are described in some detail and their potential relevance to future particle accelerator experiments and to baryon number violating processes is considered. We also review recent progress on the cosmology of electroweak defects and the connection with superfluid helium, where some of the effects discussed here could possibly be tested.

Unified description of color-electric and color-magnetic strings in hybrid vacua of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric QCD
Exact twisted superpotential on non-Abelian string world sheets in hybrid r-vacua yields precise matching of 2D kink masses to 4D confined monopoles and quarks.

Search for NS 3-form Flux Induced Vacua for the Critical Non-Abelian Vortex String
NS 3-form flux on the conifold generates a potential for the baryonic modulus b whose only vacuum is a runaway to infinity, degenerating the conifold.

Thermal Metastable Strings in One-Scale Models and Gravitational Waves
Thermal effects shift the PTA-compatible parameter region in a minimal dark-sector model to lower dark fine-structure constant and higher monopole-to-string-tension ratio by making thermally induced nucleation the dom...
