Cosmic Strings and Coherence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cosmic strings provide a radically different paradigm for the formation of structure to the prevailing inflationary one. They afford some extra technical complications: for example, the calculation of the power spectrum of matter and radiation perturbations requires the knowledge of the history of the evolution of the defects in the form of two-time correlation functions. We describe some numerical simulations of string networks, designed to measure the two-time correlations during their evolution.

Primordial Magnetic Fields from Superconducting Cosmic Strings
Cosmic strings are stable topological defects that may have been created at a phase transition in the early universe. It is a growing belief that, for a wide range of theoretical models, such strings may be superconducting and carry substantial currents which have important astrophysical and cosmological effects. This paper explores the possibility of generation of a primordial magnetic field b...

متن کاملThe Doppler peaks from a generic defect
We investigate which of the exotic Doppler peak features found for textures and cosmic strings are generic novelties pertaining to defects. We find that the “out of phase” texture signature is an accident. Generic defects, when they generate a secondary peak structure similar to inflation, apply to it an additive shift. It is not necessary for this shift to be “out of phase”. We also show which...
متن کاملFalaco Solitons
— Cosmic strings in a swimming pool. Abstract: A new dynamical bifurcation mechanism finally explains the formation of topological defects experimentally observed and defined in 1986 as Falaco Solitons. The Falaco Solitons are topologically universal phenomena created experimentally by a macroscopic rotational dynamics in a continuous media with a discontinuity surface, such as that found in a ...
متن کاملFermionic Zero Modes of Supergravity Cosmic Strings
Recent developments in string theory suggest that cosmic strings could be formed at the end of brane inflation. Supergravity provides a realistic model to study the properties of strings arising in brane inflation. Whilst the properties of cosmic strings in flat space-time have been extensively studied there are significant complications in the presence of gravity. We study the effects of gravi...
