On the azimuthal alignment of quasars spin vector in large quasar groups and cosmic strings.

SLAGTER R.J. and MIEDEMA P.G.

Abstract (from CDS):

We find evidence of the alignment of the azimuthal angle of the spin vectors of quasars in their host galaxy in large quasar groups of different redshift. This effect could be explained by symmetry breaking of the scalar-gauge field of cosmic strings in the early universe. It is expected that this effect will be more profound for the higher redshift.
