Effects of anisotropic dynamics on cosmic strings
arXiv:1106.4434 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2011/08/013
Abstract
The dynamics of cosmic strings is considered in anisotropic backgrounds. In particular, the behaviour of infinitely long straight cosmic strings and of cosmic string loops is determined. Small perturbations of a straight cosmic string are calculated. The relevance of these results is discussed with respect to the possible observational imprints of an anisotropic phase on the behaviour of a cosmic string network.
