Fundamental Plasmid Strings and Black Rings
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Roberto Emparan, Alberto Iglesias
We construct excited states of fundamental strings that admit a semiclassical description as rotating circular loops of string. We identify them with the supergravity solutions for…
Cosmic string formation by flux trapping
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Ken D. Olum, Alexander Vilenkin
We study the formation of cosmic strings by confining a stochastic magnetic field into flux tubes in a numerical simulation. We use overdamped evolution in a potential that is mini…
On Semiclassical Limits of String States
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Alberto Iglesias, Warren Siegel
We explore the relation between classical and quantum states in both open and closed (super)strings discussing the relevance of coherent states as a semiclassical approximation. Fo…
