Abstract: For the electromagnetic field in (D+1)-dimensional locally de Sitter (dS) spacetime, we analyze the effects of a generalized cosmic string type defect on the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor. For the Bunch-Davies vacuum state, the topological contributions are explicitly extracted in both the diagonal and off-diagonal components. The latter describes the presence of radially directed energy flux in the vacuum state. It vanishes for $D=3$ because of the conformal invariance of the electromagnetic field and is directed towards the cosmic string for $D\geq 4$ . The topological contributions in the vacuum stresses are anisotropic and, unlike to the geometry of a cosmic string in the Minkowski spacetime, for $D>3$ the stresses along the directions parallel to the string core differ from the energy density. Depending on the planar angle deficit and the distance from the cosmic string, the corresponding expectation values can be either positive or negative. Near the cosmic string the effect of the gravitational field on the diagonal components of the topological part is weak. The spacetime curvature essentially modifies the behavior of the topological terms at proper distances from the cosmic string larger than the dS curvature radius. In that region, the topological contributions in the diagonal components of the energy-momentum tensor decay in inverse proportion to the fourth power of the proper distance and the energy flux density behaves as inverse-fifth power for all values of the spatial dimension $D$. The exception is the energy density in the special case $D=4$.

Theory of $d + id$ Second-Order Topological Superconductors [9.85377596401486]
We study the realization of second-order topology that defines anomalous gapless boundary modes in a two-orbital superconductor. We reveal a time-reversal symmetry-breaking second-order topological superconducting phase with $d+id$-wave orbital-dependent paring. Our work not only reveals a unique mechanism of time-reversal symmetry breaking second-order topological superconductors but also bridges the gap between second-order topology and orbital-dependent pairings.

Induced vacuum magnetic field in the cosmic string background [0.0]
We find that a magnetic field is induced in the vacuum and that a sheath in the form of a tube of the magnetic flux lines encloses a cosmic string. The dependence of the induced vacuum magnetic field strength on the string flux and tension, as well as on the transverse size of the string, is unambiguously determined.

Gravitational waves affect vacuum entanglement [68.8204255655161]
The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement. Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave. This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.
