Gravitational Particle Production in Spinning Cosmic String Spacetimes

arXiv:gr-qc/9705049

Abstract

The spontaneous loss of angular momentum of a spinning cosmic string due to particle emission is discussed. The rate of particle production between two assymptotic spacetimes: the spinning cosmic string spacetime in the infinite past and a non-spinning cosmic string spacetime in the infinite future is calculated.
