Formation & evolution of cosmic superstrings: a short review
arXiv:1001.1752 · doi:10.1002/prop.201000002
Abstract
I will briefly review the formation and evolution of cosmic superstrings, in the context of brane-world cosmological models within M-theory. These objects can play the role of cosmic strings, offering a variety of astrophysical consequences, which I will briefly discuss.
