dc.title	Phase transitions in the core of global embedded defects	en
heal.abstract	We demonstrate the existence of global monopole and vortex configurations whose core exhibits a phase structure. We determine the critical values of parameters for which the transition from the symmetric to the non-symmetric phase occurs and discuss the novel dynamics implied by the non-symmetric cores for defect interactions. We model phase transitions in the core of global embedded topological defects by identifying the relevant parameters with the vacuum expectation value of a dynamical scalar field. Finally, we argue that superheavy defects that undergo a core phase transition in the very early universe provide a novel realization for topological inflation.	en
