Thick self-gravitating plane-symmetric domain walls
Filipe Bonjour, Christos Charmousis, Ruth Gregory
We investigate a self-gravitating thick domain wall for a potential. The system of scalar and Einstein equations admits two types of non-trivial solutions: domain wall solut…

Can a self-gravitating thin cosmic string obey the Nambu-Goto dynamics ?
B. Boisseau, C. Charmousis, B. Linet
We assume that a self-gravitating string is locally described by a thin tube of matter represented by a ``smoothed conical metric''. If we impose a specific constraint on the model…
