Cosmic Strings, Loops, and Linear Growth of Matter Perturbations
We describe a detailed study of string-seeded structure formation using high resolution numerical simulations in open universes and those with a non-zero cosmological constant. We provide a semi-analytical model which can reproduce these simulation results including the effect from small loops chopped of by the string network. A detailed study of cosmic string network properties regarding struc...
متن کاملThe bispectrum of matter perturbations from cosmic strings
We present the first calculation of the bispectrum of the matter perturbations induced by cosmic strings. The calculation is performed in two different ways: the first uses the unequal time correlators (UETCs) of the string network computed using a Gaussian model previously employed for cosmic string power spectra. The second approach uses the wake model, where string density perturbations are ...
متن کاملCosmological Perturbations from Cosmic Strings ∗
Some aspects of the theory of cosmological perturbations from cosmic strings and other topological defects are outlined, with particular reference to a simple example: a spatially flat CDM-dominated universe. The conserved energy-momentum pseudo-tensor is introduced, and the equation for the density perturbation derived from it. It is shown how the scaling hypothesis for defect evolution result...
متن کاملEntropy perturbations due to cosmic strings.
We examine variations in the equation of state of the cosmic string portion of the cosmological fluid which lead to perturbations of the background matter density. These fluctuations in the equation of state are due to variations in the local density of cosmic string loops and gravitational radiation. Constructing a crude model of the distribution of entropy perturbations, we obtain the resulti...
متن کاملAbelian Higgs cosmic strings: Small-scale structure and loops
Classical lattice simulations of the Abelian Higgs model are used to investigate small-scale structure and loop distributions in cosmic string networks. Use of the field theory ensures that the small-scale physics is captured correctly. The results confirm analytic predictions of Polchinski and Rocha [29] for the two-point correlation function of the string tangent vector, with a power law from...
