Defect formation from defect--anti-defect annihilations (1205.2442v2)
Published 11 May 2012 in hep-th, astro-ph.HE, and hep-ph
Abstract: We show that when a topological defect with extended world-volume annihilates with an anti-defect, there arise topological defects with dimensions less than those of the original defects by one. Domain wall annihilations create vortices while monopole-string annihilations result in instantons. We find that twisted domain wall rings are vortices, whereas twisted monopole rings are instantons.
