Scaling networks of cosmic defects, such as strings and textures, actively generate scalar, vector, and tensor metric perturbations throughout the history of the Universe. In particular, vector modes sourced by defects are an efficient source of the... Read More about Did BICEP2 See Vector Modes? First B-Mode Constraints on Cosmic Defects.
