Flat wormholes from straight cosmic strings
نویسنده
چکیده
Special multi-cosmic string metrics are analytically extended to describe configurations of Wheeler-Misner wormholes and ordinary cosmic strings. I investigate in detail the case of flat, asymptotically Minkowskian, Wheeler-Misner wormhole spacetimes generated by two cosmic strings, each with tension −1/4G.

Exact gravitational lensing by cosmic strings with junctions
We point out that the results by Brandenberger et al. in Phys.Rev.D77:083502(2008) that the geometry around the straight cosmic strings with stationary junctions is flat to linear order in the string tension can be immediately extended to any order.
متن کاملun 2 00 9 More about thin - shell wormholes associated to cosmic strings
Previous analysis about thin-shell wormholes associated to cosmic strings are extended. More evidence is found supporting the conjecture that, under reasonable assumptions about the equations of state of matter on the shell, the configurations are not stable under radial velocity perturbations.
متن کاملWormhole cosmic strings.
We construct regular multi-wormhole solutions to a gravitating σ model in three space-time dimensions, and extend these solutions to cylindrical traversable wormholes in four and five dimensions. We then discuss the possibility of identifying wormhole mouths in pairs to give rise to Wheeler wormholes. Such an identification is consistent with the original field equations only in the absence of ...
متن کاملLensing and CMB Anisotropies by Cosmic Strings at a Junction
The metric around straight arbitrarily-oriented cosmic strings forming a stationary junction is obtained at the linearized level. It is shown that the geometry is flat. The sum rules for lensing by this configuration and the anisotropies of the CMB are obtained.
متن کاملMost General Spherically Symmetric M2-branes and Type IIB Strings
We obtain the most general spherically symmetric M2-branes and type IIB strings, with R 1,2 × SO(8) and R 1,1 × SO(8) isometries, respectively. We find that there are 12 different classes of M2-branes, and we study their curvature properties. In particular, we obtain new smooth M2-brane wormholes that connect two asymptotic regions: one is flat and the other can be either flat or AdS 4 × S 7. W...
