Stability of domain wall network with initial inflationary fluctuations and its implications for cosmic birefringence

We study the formation and evolution of domain walls with initial inflationary fluctuations by numerical lattice calculations that, for the first time, correctly take into account correlations on superhorizon scales. We find that, contrary to the widely-held claim over the past few tens of years, th...
