Spinning cosmic strings: a general class of solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work, we give a general class of solutions of the spinning cosmic string in Einstein’s theory of gravity. After treating same problem in Einstein Cartan (EC) theory of gravity, the exact solution satisfying both exterior and interior space-times representing a spin fluid moving along the symmetry axis is presented in the EC theory. The existence of closed timelike curves in this spacetime are also examined.

Volterra Distortions, Spinning Strings, and Cosmic Defects
Cosmic strings, as topological spacetime defects, show striking resemblance to defects in solid continua: distortions, which can be classified into disclinations and dislocations, are linelike defects characterized by a delta function-valued curvature and torsion distribution giving rise to rotational and translational holonomy. We exploit this analogy and investigate how distortions can be ada...
متن کاملCinderella Strings
We investigate recent claims concerning a new class of cosmic string solutions in the Weinberg-Salam model. They have the general form of previously discussed semi-local and electroweak strings, but are modified by the presence of a non-zero W-condensate in the core of the string. We explicitly construct such solutions for arbitrary values of the winding number N. We then prove that they are ga...
متن کاملCosmic Strings and Closed time-like curves in teleparallel gravity
Closed Time-like curves (CTC) in Cosmic strings in teleparallel T4 gravity are forbidden.This result shown here in T4 was shown by Soleng (Phys.Rev.D49 (1994)1124) also to be valid in Einstein-Cartan (EC) gravity.Here we show that in T4 to allow for CTC we are also led to a lower bound on the angular momentum of the cosmic string.This result is obtained by matching the interior T4 solution to a...
متن کاملExact General Relativistic Rotating Disks Immersed in Rotating Dust Generated from van Stockum Solutions
A class of exact general relativistic rotating thick disks surrounded by rotating dust is constructed by applying the “displace, cut, fill and reflect” method on the van Stockum class of metrics. Two particular solutions are considered in detail. We find that the disks have annular regions with negative energy density and heat flow is present in most of the radial extension of the disk. It is s...
متن کاملHigher-derivative Lagrangians, nonlocality, problems, and solutions.
Higher-derivative theories are frequently avoided because of undesirable properties, yet they occur naturally as corrections to general relativity and cosmic strings. We discuss some of their more interesting and disturbing problems, with examples. A natural method of removing all the problems of higher derivatives is reviewed. This method of "perturbative constraints" is required for at least ...
