Cosmic strings in axionic-dilatonic gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We first consider local cosmic strings in dilaton-axion gravity and show that they are singular solutions. Then we take a supermassive Higgs limit and present expressions for the fields at far distances from the core by applying a Pecci-Quinn and a duality transformation to the dilatonic Melvin’s magnetic universe. PACS numbers: 04.70.-b, 11.27.+d

Gravitational, dilatonic and axionic radiative damping of cosmic strings
We study the radiation reaction on cosmic strings due to the emission of dilatonic, gravitational and axionic waves. After discussing the renormalization of the string tension induced by time-symmetric self-interactions (thereby correcting errors in the literature concerning the effect of the dilaton field), we concentrate on the finite radiation damping force associated with the halfretarded m...
متن کاملOn the gravitational, dilatonic and axionic radiative damping of cosmic strings
We study the radiation reaction on cosmic strings due to the emission of dilatonic, gravitational and axionic waves. After verifying the (on average) conservative nature of the time-symmetric self-interactions, we concentrate on the finite radiation damping force associated with the half-retarded minus half-advanced “reactive” fields. We revisit a recent proposal of using a “local back reaction...

متن کاملEffective action and tension renormalization for cosmic and fundamental strings
We derive the effective action for classical strings coupled to dilatonic, gravitational, and axionic fields. We show how to use this effective action for: (i) renormalizing the string tension, (ii) linking ultraviolet divergences to the infrared (long-range) interaction between strings, (iii) bringing additional light on the special cancellations that occur for fundamental strings, and (iv) po...
متن کاملScaling Distribution of Axionic Strings and Estimation of Axion Density from Axionic Domain Walls
When the amount of the axion emitted from axionic strings is evaluated, the number density of the source string should be necessarily determined. Although it is the simplest assumption that the axionic strings obey the same distribution as that of the cosmic gauged strings, this assumption has not been completely justified. The damping due to the surrounding plasma is estimated by a detailed ca...
