- Formation, Interaction and Observation of Topological Defects An introduction to the formation of defects in first-order phase transitions, the way these defects interact, and observational signatures of cosmic strings. Les Houches lectures by Tanmay Vachaspati, suitable for graduate students.
- Topological Defects and Cosmology Thorough review of the formation of defects and their consequences for cosmology. By Robert H. Brandenberger.
