摘要
Topological defects are produced during phase transitions in the very early Universe. They arise in most unified theories of strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions. These lectures focus on the role of topological defects in cosmology, with particular emphasis on the models of structure formation based on defects. The role of topological defects in baryogenesis is also reviewed.
