SUMMARY
Inhomogeneities and topological defects, such as cosmic strings, are proposed to disrupt fundamental symmetries in cosmology, including Poincaré, Lorentz, and CPT symmetries. These defects can influence the structure of spacetime and the behavior of cosmic phenomena. The discussion highlights a lack of accessible references on this topic, indicating a gap in the literature regarding the implications of these defects on symmetry breaking. Specific citations and context are requested for further exploration of these concepts.
