Nonsingular global strings
arXiv:gr-qc/9606002 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.54.4955
Abstract
We examine the possibility that time dependence might remove the singular nature of global string spacetimes. We first show that this time dependence takes a specific form -- a de-Sitter like expansion along the length of the string and give an argument for the existence of such a solution, estimating the rate of expansion. We compare our solution to the singular Cohen-Kaplan spacetime.
