Cosmological stretching of perturbations on a cosmic string
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the effects of cosmological expansion on the spectrum of small-scale structure on a cosmic string. We simulate the evolution of a string with two modes that differ in wavelength by one order of magnitude. Once the short mode is inside the horizon, we find that its physical amplitude remains unchanged, in spite of the fact that its comoving wavelength decreases as the longer mode enters the horizon. Thus the ratio of amplitude to wavelength for the short mode becomes larger than it would be in the absence of the long mode.

Bulk viscous string cosmological models in Saez – Ballester theory of gravitation
Spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX anisotropic, as well as isotropic cosmological models can be obtained in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986) when the source for energy momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings. All the models obtained and presented here are expanding, non-rotating and accelerating...
متن کاملEntropy perturbations due to cosmic strings.
We examine variations in the equation of state of the cosmic string portion of the cosmological fluid which lead to perturbations of the background matter density. These fluctuations in the equation of state are due to variations in the local density of cosmic string loops and gravitational radiation. Constructing a crude model of the distribution of entropy perturbations, we obtain the resulti...
متن کاملConstraints on cosmic strings due to black holes formed from collapsed cosmic string loops.
The cosmological features of primordial black holes formed from collapsed cosmic string loops are studied. Observational restrictions on a population of primordial black holes are used to restrict f , the fraction of cosmic string loops which collapse to form black holes, and µ, the cosmic string mass-per-unit-length. Using a realistic model of cosmic strings, we find the strongest restriction ...
متن کاملStructure formation by cosmic strings with a cosmological constant
We investigate cosmic string models for structure formation which include a non-zero cosmological constant. We nd that the background evolution of density perturbations and modi cations to the scaling behaviour of the strings both act to increase the amount of power present on 100h Mpc scales. We estimate the size of this e ect using an analytic model for the evolution of the string network and...
متن کاملCosmic strings confront COBE
We investigate large-angle anisotropies in the cosmic microwave radiation background which are induced by cosmic strings. We numerically evolve a string network from a redshift Z=100 to the present day and we use this data to generate a full-sky temperature map using sophisticated Green's function methods. Based on a limited number of realizations, we have compared the results of our simulation...
