Cosmological Defects offers a sweeping, in-depth exploration into the relics of the early universe, charting a course from the primordial chaos of the Big Bang to the intricate tapestry of modern cosmological research. This definitive volume begins with an accessible introduction to cosmological defects and the dramatic phase transitions that set the stage for their formation (Chapter 1–2) and then delves into the mechanics of symmetry breaking and the influential Kibble-Zurek mechanism (Chapter 3). It builds a robust theoretical framework by systematically classifying topological defects—from the one-dimensional filaments of cosmic strings (Chapter 5) and the two-dimensional cosmic boundaries of domain walls (Chapter 6) to the point-like magnetic monopoles (Chapter 7), and extending further into the realm of complex, unstable defects such as textures and skyrmions (Chapter 8). The journey continues as the book ventures "beyond standard defects" to explore the role of extra dimensions and the emergence of hybrid structures from multiple symmetry breakings (Chapter 9), while also showcasing the latest astronomical methods that link theory with observation (Chapter 10). In a broader cosmological context, it examines how these defects might have seeded large-scale structures and acted as catalysts in cosmic evolution (Chapter 11). The final chapters bring the discussion full circle—synthesizing theory and observation into a comprehensive conclusion (Chapter 12) and providing a critical analysis of the seminal references that have shaped the field (Chapter 13). Drawing upon a wealth of highly credible, peer-reviewed research—from seminal works by Kibble, Linde, and Vilenkin to transformative observational studies by the Planck Collaboration—Cosmological Defects is an essential resource for PhD-level scholars and researchers. It not only presents complex ideas in a clear and engaging manner but also offers deep insights into the current challenges and future directions of cosmology, ensuring that readers gain a thorough understanding of both the historical context and cutting-edge developments in the study of the universe’s most enigmatic structures.

**This book is in the viral competition. Support me by adding to library, gifting power stones, and golden tickets** . . Perhaps out of mercy, Ava Whitlock found herself reborn before all the tragedies - before her public image was ruined, before her career ended, before her real family disowned her existence and she was brutally murdered by the fake daughter her family had. . . All Ava Whitlock ever wanted in her whole existence was to have a family of her own, one which adored her and reciprocated her love. Her adoptive family were abusive, and when her real wealthy family descended from heaven, Ava thought the universe finally answered her prayer. Her prominent family were the owner of the Whitlock's conglomerate, the largest conglomerate in Lebron City. She had three powerful brothers: Jerome, the general manager of the conglomerate; Noah, the director of the conglomerate's firm; and Caspian, the best software engineer in all of Lebron City. Ava thought she had it all, but what she never expected was that her real family wanted nothing to do with her. They saw her as an eye-sore who was here to claim the position of their fake daughter, and they made no attempt to hide that they preferred the fake daughter to their flesh and blood. . On her death bed, Jerome, Ava's eldest brother asked, almost laughing, "Ava's at the point of death?" Her mother hissed before replying almost immediately, "Good. Let her rot." "Why are we being informed about this?" Noah, Ava's second brother asked. "Ava is no longer part of the Whitlock household after the little stunt she pulled. It's sickening that she still bears my household's name legally, but don't call me even if she's dead," her father said dryly. . . In this life, Ava had another mission. To stop her name from getting ruined publicly, and to earn her family's respect instead. She didn't care about her family's love anymore. But a lot of things changed in her new life that she didn't have answers to. How did she end up with three other guardian angels?! And why did they address her as their lovely little sister?! Also, how did she have a fiance in this new life who was dotting on her?

As Ava digs deeper, she realizes that the key to unlocking her past could cost her everything. But to find out the truth, she’ll have to risk listening to the voices she fears most.

For I am the Teller of Tales, and the Weaver of Dreams.
