Cosmological defects may exist at present and at the same time they still involve high energy states in the very early universe. Such high energy states cannot be realized in ground accelerator experiments so defects provide invaluable opportunities to apply and investigate physical fundamental theories. On the other hand, defects may also explain unresolved cosmological problems such as the origin of cosmic structures, baryon asymmetry, dark matter, and the primordial magnetic field. So far topologically stable defects have mainly been studied in the literature : however, it was shown recently that other kinds of defects would play an important role in cosmic evolution. This review briefly introduces the stabilization mechanism of embedded defects and their possible applications to cosmology and astrophysics.
