The only two gauge symmetries which remain unbroken today are $SU(3)_c$ and $U(1)_{EM}$. Both are crucial for our universe to appear the way it does and for our form of life to exist. Unless we are very special observers living at the very…

Cosmological phase transitions accompanied by some kind of symmetry breaking would cause the creation of topological defects and the resulting production of primordial magnetic field. Moreover, such a procedure inevitably affects the cosmic…

We use arguments based on Derrick's theorem to show that the property of collapse which is the key feature of global texture appears in several field theory models with broken global O(N) symmetry. Such models do not necessarily have…

Cosmological models often contain scalar fields, which can acquire global nonzero expectation values that change with the comoving time. Among the possible consequences of these scalar-field backgrounds, an accelerated cosmological…

All global symmetries are expected to be explicitly broken by quantum gravitational effects, and yet may play an important role in Particle Physics and Cosmology. As such, any evidence for a well-preserved global symmetry would give insight…

In almost all structure formation models, primordial perturbations are created within a homogeneous and isotropic universe, like the one we observe. Because their ensemble averages inherit the symmetries of the spacetime in which they are…

We investigate SUSY breaking mediated through the deformation of the spacetime geometry due to the backreaction of a nontrivial configuration of a bulk scalar field. To illustrate its features, we work with a toy model in which the bulk is…
