On the Azimuthal Alignment of Quasars Spin Vector in Large Quasar Groups and Cosmic Strings

Abstract

We find evidence of the alignment of the azimuthal angle of the spin vectors of quasars in large quasar groups of different redshift. This effect is probably of cosmological origin and 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 higher redshift.
