On the evolution of abelian-Higgs string networks
J. N. Moore, E. P. S. Shellard
We study the evolution of abelian-Higgs string networks in numerical simulations. These are compared against a modified velocity-dependent one scale model for cosmic string network…

Limits on Cosmic Chiral Vortons
C. J. A. P. Martins, E. P. S. Shellard
We study chiral vorton production for Witten-type superconducting string models in the context of a recently developed analytic formalism. We delineate three distinct scenarios: Fi…

Vorton Formation
C. J. A. P. Martins, E. P. S. Shellard
In this paper we present the first analytic model for vorton formation. We start by deriving the microscopic string equations of motion in Witten's superconducting model, and show…
