Effective non-intercommutation of local cosmic strings at high collision speeds
Ana Achucarro, Roland de Putter
We present evidence that Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) strings pass through each other for very high speeds of approach due to a double intercommutation. In near-perpendicular col…

deSitter vacua from uplifting D-terms in effective supergravities from realistic strings
A. Achucarro, B. de Carlos, J. A. Casas +1
We study the possibility of using the D-term associated to an anomalous U(1) for the uplifting of AdS vacua (to dS or Minkowski vacua) in effective supergravities arising from stri…

A note on the stability of axionic D-term strings
Ana Achucarro, Kepa Sousa
We investigate the stability of a new class of BPS cosmic strings in N=1 supergravity with D-terms recently proposed by Blanco-Pillado, Dvali and Redi. These have been conjectured…
