Abstract: (APS)
We consider the cosmological consequences of a spontaneous breaking of non-Abelian discrete symmetries, which may appear as a natural remnant of a continuous symmetry, such as a family symmetry. The result may be a stable domain wall across which an electron would turn into a muon (or νe into νμ) or a flavor analog of an Alice string–domain-wall structure with the same property.- string model: flavor changing
