Screwed superconducting cosmic strings
We show that it is possible to build up a consistent model describing a superconducting cosmic string (SCS) endowed with torsion. A full string solution is obtained by matching the internal and the external solutions. We derive the deficit angle, the geodesics of and the gravitational force on a test-particle moving under the action of this screwed SCS. A couple of potentially observable astrop...
متن کاملCosmic sparks from superconducting strings.
We investigate cosmic sparks from cusps on superconducting cosmic strings in light of the recently discovered millisecond radio burst by Lorimer et al.. We find that the observed duration, fluence, spectrum, and event rate can be reasonably explained by grand unification scale superconducting cosmic strings that carry currents approximately 10{5} GeV. The superconducting string model predicts a...
متن کاملCosmic strings and strings in gravitational waves
We consider strings with the Nambu action as extremal surfaces in a given space-time, thus, we ignore their back reaction. Especially, we look for strings sharing one symmetry with the underlying space-time. If this is a non-null symmetry, the problem of determining the motion of the string can be dimensionally reduced. We get exact solutions for the following cases: straight and circle-like st...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Cosmic Strings
Gravitational waves from cosmic strings are generated in the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang, potentially providing a unprecedented probe of the early universe. We discuss the key dynamical processes underlying calculations of the stochastic background produced by a string network and we detail the parameter dependencies of the resulting spectral density Ωgr(f). The present const...
متن کاملPrimordial Magnetic Fields from Superconducting Cosmic Strings
Cosmic strings are stable topological defects that may have been created at a phase transition in the early universe. It is a growing belief that, for a wide range of theoretical models, such strings may be superconducting and carry substantial currents which have important astrophysical and cosmological effects. This paper explores the possibility of generation of a primordial magnetic field b...
