报告摘要：Symmetry breaking in the early universe is realized through a phase transition at the cosmological scale, with possible byproducts of topological solitons such as cosmic strings, which are major sources of gravitational waves that particle physics can offer. Determining, detecting and measuring precisely such gravitational waves can help understand the underlying fundamental physics, a topic that I will discuss in this talk.
