Decay of Metastable Topological Defects
read the original abstract
We systematically analyze the decay of metastable topological defects that arise from the spontaneous breakdown of gauge or global symmetries. Quantum-mechanical tunneling rates are estimated for a variety of decay processes. The decay rate for a global string, vortex, domain wall, or kink is typically suppressed compared to the decay rate for its gauged counterpart. We also discuss the decay of global texture, and of semilocal and electroweak strings.

The decay rate of metastable cosmic strings beyond the thin-string approximation
Lattice simulations find the bounce action for metastable cosmic string decay suppressed compared to thin-string estimates, implying faster decay.

New gravitational-wave templates for metastable cosmic strings: Loop breaking versus network collapse
Metastable cosmic strings produce a gravitational wave background that is best modeled with three parameters (string tension Gμ plus independent time scales t_LB and t_NC), yielding a compact analytical spectrum when ...

LISA Reconstruction Landscape for Metastable Cosmic Strings
LISA can reconstruct metastable cosmic-string tension and lifetime when it samples the tail-to-plateau transition, with residual κ_CS sensitivity possible even in high-SNR plateau-like spectra.

One-Dimensional Simulations of the Topological Defects in a 3:1 $U(1)$ Model
In a 3:1 U(1) model, the Z3 domain wall develops a growing bias angle beta as v1/v2 is lowered, and no static wall exists below R12 ≈ 0.768.

Baryons, Skyrmions and $\theta$-periodicity anomaly in chiral and vector-like gauge theories
In chiral SU(N) gauge theories with mixed one- and two-index matter, the CFL-phase coset topology yields no Skyrmions yet permits stable heavy baryons protected by unbroken symmetries, unlike vector-like models; theta...
