Collapse of a circular loop of cosmic string.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the collapse of a circular loop of cosmic string. The gravitational field of the string is treated using the weak field approximation. The gravitational radiation from the loop is evaluated numerically. The metric of the loop near the point of collapse is found analytically. 02.60.Cb, 04.30.+x, 98.80.Cq Typeset using REVTEX 1

Do Global String Loops Collapse to Form Black Holes?
Hawking has shown that the emission of gravitational radiation cannot prevent circular loops of gauged cosmic strings from collapsing into black holes. Here we consider the corresponding question for global strings: can Goldstone boson emission prevent circular loops of global cosmic strings from forming black holes? Our results show that for every value of the string tension there is a certain...
متن کاملCircular Cosmic String Loop in Brans-Dicke Theory
The gravitational eld of a stationary circular cosmic string loop, externally supported against collapse, is investigated in the context of Brans-Dicke theory in the weak eld approximation of the eld equations. The solution is quasi-conformally related to the corresponding solution in Einstein's General Relativity(GR) and goes over to the corresponding solution in GR when the Brans-Dicke parame...
متن کاملThe circular loop equation of a cosmic string with time-varying tension
The equation of circular loops of cosmic string with time-dependent tension is studied in the Minkowski spacetime and Robertson-Walker universe. We find that, in the case where the tension depends on some power of the cosmic time, cosmic string loops with time-varying tension should not collapse to form a black hole if the power is lower than a critical value.

متن کاملThe circular loop equation of a cosmic string with time-varying tension in de Sitter spacetimes
In this work the equation of circular loops of cosmic string possessing time-dependent tension is studied in the de Sitter spacetime. We find that, in the case where the tension depends on some power of cosmic time, cosmic string loops with time-varying tension should not collapse to form a black hole if the power is lower than a critical value no matter how large their initial size is, which i...
متن کاملWeak-field gravity of circular cosmic strings.
A weak-field solution of Einstein’s equations is constructed. It is generated by a circular cosmic string externally supported against collapse. The solution exhibits a conical singularity, and the corresponding deficit angle is the same as for a straight string of the same linear energy density. This confirms the deficit-angle assumption made in the Frolov-Israel-Unruh derivation of the metric...
