Instability of cosmological event horizons of non-static global cosmic strings
arXiv:gr-qc/9706072 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.56.6217
Abstract
The stability of the cosmological event horizons found recently by Gregory [Phys. Rev. D54, 4955 (1996)] for a class of non-static global cosmic strings is studied. It is shown that they are not stable to both test particles and physical perturbations. In particular, the back reaction of the perturbations of null dust fluids will turn them into spacetime singularities. The resulted singularities are strong in the sense that the distortion of test particles diverges logarithmically when these singular hypersurfaces are approaching.
