چکیده

We derive analytic expressions for the interaction energy between two general U (1) cosmic strings as the function of their relative orientation and the ratio of the coupling constants in the model. The results are relevant to the statistic description of strings away from critical coupling and shed some light on the mechanisms involved in string formation and the evolution of string networks.

Non - intercommuting configurations in the collisions of type I U ( 1 ) cosmic strings

It is shown that for small relative angle and kinetic energy two type I U(1) strings can form bound states upon collision instead of the more familiar intercommuting configuration. The velocity below which this may happen is estimated as function of the ratio of the coupling constants in the theory, crossing angle and initial kinetic energy. ∗e-mail: [email protected] 1 Cosmic Strings form...

Recent developments in string inspired models of inflation suggest that D-strings are formed at the end of inflation. Within the supergravity model of D-strings there are 2(n−1) chiral fermion zero modes for a D-string of winding n. Using the bounds on the relic vorton density, we show that D-strings with winding number n > 1 are more strongly constrained than cosmic strings arising in cosmolog...

Charged Black Cosmic String

Global U(1) strings with cylindrical symmetry are studied in anti-de Sitter spacetime. According as the magnitude of negative cosmological constant, they form regular global cosmic strings, extremal black cosmic strings and charged black cosmic strings, but no curvature singularity is involved. The relationship between the topological charge of a neutral global string and the black hole charge ...

Supersymmetric Electroweak Cosmic Strings

We study the connection between N = 2 supersymmetry and a topological bound in a two-Higgs-doublet system with an SU(2)×U(1)Y ×U(1)Y ′ gauge group. We derive the Bogomol’nyi equations from supersymmetry considerations showing that they hold provided certain conditions on the coupling constants, which are a consequence of the huge symmetry of the theory, are satisfied. Their solutions, which can...
