Flavor changing strings and domain walls

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We consider the cosmological consequences of a spontaneous breaking of non-Abelian discrete symmetries, which may appear as a natural remnant of a continuous symmetry, such as a family symmetry. The result may be a stable domain wall across which an electron would turn into a muon (or νe into νμ) or a flavor analog of an Alice string-domain-wall structure with the same property.
