Stability of Modified Electroweak Strings

Abstract

We discuss the stability of an electroweak string with axions in its core, which give to the configuration a quasi-topological property, and compare it with other modifications using instantons in the thin wall approximation.

Minor changes and inclusion of one figure. To be published on Z. f. Physik C. 11 pages, 1 postcript figure
