On Topological Defects and High-Energy Physics

Authors: Ervin Goldfain

The Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) describes the universal formation of topological defects in systems undergoing continuous phase transitions. KZM is traditionally applied to the study of defects in the early Universe and condensed matter phenomena. The goal of this brief report is to uncover the remarkable analogy between KZM and the flavor composition of particle physics. Our findings suggest that structure formation in particle physics and cosmology is rooted in the multifractal topology of the early Universe.
