Analytic Approaches to the Study of Small Scale Structure on Cosmic String Networks
Jorge V. Rocha
We present an analytic model specifically designed to address the long standing issue of small scale structure on cosmic string networks. The model is derived from the microscopic…
Scaling solution for small cosmic string loops
Jorge V. Rocha
The equation governing the time evolution of the number density of loops in a cosmic string network is a detailed balance determined by energy conservation. We solve this equation…
Cosmic String Structure at the Gravitational Radiation Scale
Joseph Polchinski, Jorge V. Rocha
We use our model of the small scale structure on cosmic strings to develop further the result of Siemens, Olum, and Vilenkin that the gravitational radiation length scale on cosmic…
Periodic Gravitational Waves From Small Cosmic String Loops
Florian Dubath, Jorge V. Rocha
We consider a population of small, high-velocity cosmic string loops. We assume the typical length of these loops is determined by the gravitational radiation scale and use the res…
