Exact Primordial Black Strings in Four Dimensions

arXiv:hep-th/9303059 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.48.4658

Abstract

A solution of effective string theory in four dimensions is presented which admits interpretation of a rotating black cosmic string. It is constructed by tensoring the three dimensional black hole, extended with the Kalb-Ramond axion, with a flat direction. The physical interpretation of the solution is discussed, with special attention on the axion, which is found to play a role very similar to a Higgs field. Finally, it is pointed out that the solution represents an exact WZWN model on the string world sheet, to all orders in the inverse string tension .
