Dissipation coefficients are calculated in the adiabatic, near thermal equilibrium regime for a
large class of renormalizable interaction configurations involving a two-stage mechanism …

In this brief review, I discuss some of the effects of the Nambu Goto cosmic strings in the
early universe. Nambu Goto strings are formed from symmetry breaking phase transitions in …

From the theory of topological defect formation proposed for the early Universe, the so-
called Kibble mechanism, it follows that the density correlation functions of defects and …

We have earlier shown that cosmic strings moving through the plasma at the time of a first
order quark-hadron transition in the early universe can generate large scale baryon …

In this article, we give a bird's eye view of research on electroweak phase transition and
some related phenomena, viz., cosmological baryogenesis, electroweak bubble dynamics …

Many physical processes involving adiabatic dissipative and viscous effects near thermal
equilibrium occur in relativistic systems of bosonic and fermionic quantum fields. In the …
