This book sheds new light on topological defects in widely
differing systems, using the Velocity-Dependent One-Scale Model to
better understand their evolution. Topological defects - cosmic
strings, monopoles, domain walls or others - necessarily form at
cosmological (and condensed matter) phase transitions. If they are
stable and long-lived they will be fossil relics of higher-energy
physics. Understanding their behaviour and consequences is a key
part of any serious attempt to understand the universe, and this
requires modelling their evolution. The velocity-dependent
one-scale model is the only fully quantitative model of defect
network evolution, and the canonical model in the field. This book
provides a review of the model, explaining its physical content and
describing its broad range of applicability.
