Vacuum Fluctuations of a massless spin-1/2 field around multiple cosmic strings

arXiv:gr-qc/9803044 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/14/12/008

Abstract

We study the interaction of a massless quantized spinor field with the gravitational filed of N parallel static cosmic strings by using a perturbative approach. We show that the presence of more than one cosmic string gives rise to an additional contribution to the energy density of vacuum fluctuations, thereby leading to a vacuum force attraction between two parallel cosmic strings.
