Superconducting String Texture
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a detailed analytical and numerical study of a novel type of static, superconducting, classically stable string texture in a renormalizable topologically trivial massive U(1) gauge model with one charged and one neutral scalar. An upper bound on the mass of the charged scalar as well as on the current that the string can carry are established. A preliminary unsuccesful search for stable solutions corresponding to large superconducting loops is also reported.

Friction Domination with Superconducting Strings
We investigate the evolution of a superconducting string network with arbitrary, constant string current in the friction dominated regime. In the absence of an external magnetic field the network always reaches a scaling solution. However, for string current stronger than a critical value, it is different than the usual, horizon–scaling of the non-superconducting string case. In this case the f...
متن کاملScrewed 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 کاملBaryon Number Violating Transitions in String Backgrounds
We construct field configurations that interpolate between string background states of differing baryon number. Using these configurations we estimate the effect of the background fields on the energy barrier separating different vacua. In the background of a superconducting GUT string the energy barrier is increased, while in an electroweak string background or the electroweak layer of a non-s...
متن کاملA ug 1 99 8 Superconducting cosmic string in Brans - Dicke theory
In the present work, the gravitational field of superconducting cosmic string has been investigated in the context of Brans-Dicke theory of gravity. We have presented two kind of solutions for the spacetime in the far field zone of the string. When the B-D scalar field is switched off, one of the solutions reduces to the solution earlier obtained by Moss and Poletti in General Relativity.
