Cosmic String Network Evolution in arbitrary Friedmann-Lemaitre models
arXiv:astro-ph/9705208 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.57.1306
Abstract
We use the velocity-dependent one-scale model by Martins & Shellard to investigate the evolution of a GUT long cosmic string network in arbitrary Friedmann-Lemaitre models. Four representative models are used to show that in general there is no scaling solution. The implications for structure formation are briefly discussed.
