Reionization from cosmic string loops
Abstract Loops formed from a cosmic string network at early times would act as seeds for early formation of halos, which would form galaxies and lead to early reionization. With reasonable guesses about astrophysical and string parameters, the cosmic string scale Gμ must be no more than about 3 × 10 to avoid conflict with the reionization redshift found by WMAP. The bound is much stronger for s...
متن کاملCosmic string loops and large-scale structure
We investigate the contribution made by small loops from a cosmic string network as seeds for large-scale structure formation. We show that cosmic string loops are highly correlated with the long-string network on large scales and therefore contribute significantly to the power spectrum of density perturbations if the average loop lifetime is comparable to or above one Hubble time. This effect ...
متن کاملCosmic String Loops and Gravitational Radiation
Understanding of the signatures of cosmic string networks is limited by a large uncertainty in the sizes at which cosmic string loops form. We review cosmic string network evolution, and the gravitational signatures, with emphasis on this uncertainty. We then review a recent analytic model of cosmic string networks. In combination with recent simulations, this suggests that 90% of the string go...
متن کاملZero modes on cosmic string loops
We study the spectrum of fermionic modes on cosmic string loops. We find no fermionic zero modes nor massive bound states — this implies that vortons stabilized by fermionic currents do not exist. We have also studied kink-(anti)kink and vortex-(anti)vortex systems and find that all systems that have vanishing net topological charge do not support fermionic bound modes.
متن کاملCosmic String Loops Collapsing to Black Holes
We examine the question of collapse of Turok’s two-parameter family of cosmic strings. We first perform a classification of the strings according to the specific time(s) at which the minimal string size is reached during one period. We then obtain an exact analytical expression for the probability of collapse to black holes for the Turok strings. Our result has the same general behavior as prev...
