Evolution of cosmic string configurations.
We extend and develop our previous work on the evolution of a network of cosmic strings. The new treatment is based on an analysis of the probability distribution of the end-to-end distance, or extension, of a randomly chosen segment of left-moving string of given length. The description involves three distinct length scales: ξ, related to the overall string density, ¯ ξ, the persistence length...
متن کاملCosmological evolution of cosmic string loops
The existence of a scaling evolution for cosmic string loops in an expanding universe is demonstrated for the first time by means of numerical simulations. In contrast with what is usually assumed, this result does not rely on any gravitational back reaction effect and has been observed for loops as small as a few thousandths the size of the horizon. We give the energy and number densities of e...
متن کاملQualitative evolution in higher-loop string cosmology
We investigate the evolution of the homogeneous and isotropic universe within the framework of the effective string gravity with string-loop modifications of dilaton couplings. In the case of barotropic perfect fluid as a nongravitational source the set of cosmological equations is presented in the form of the third-order autonomous dynamical system. The cases are considered when this system is...
متن کاملCosmic String Dynamics and Evolution in Warped Spacetime
We study the dynamics and evolution of Nambu-Goto strings in a warped spacetime, where the warp factor is a function of the internal coordinates giving rise to a ‘throat’ region. The microscopic equations of motion for strings in this background include potential and friction terms, which attract the strings towards the bottom of the warping throat. However, by considering the resulting macrosc...
متن کاملCosmic string network evolution in arbitrary Friedmann-Lemaı̂tre models
Cosmic strings might be responsible for structure formation in the universe. To understand how cosmic strings could influence the cosmic medium we need to know how the string network evolves. In recent years the theory was applied mainly to the Einstein–de Sitter model ~with l050 and V051), in which the network reaches a scaling behavior ~see @1,2# for a review!. However, there are observations...
