1. Cosmic String

   Linked via "symmetry breaking mechanism"

   Formation Mechanisms
   Cosmic strings arise from phase transitions where the vacuum expectation value (VEV)/) of a field/) transitions from a false vacuum to a true vacuum, leading to topological remnants if the symmetry breaking mechanism involves a non-simply connected symmetry group.
