Rigidity and stability of cold dark solid universe model
R. A. Battye, B. Carter, E. Chachoua +1
Observational evidence suggests that the large scale dynamics of the universe is presently dominated by dark energy, meaning a non-luminous cosmological constituent with a negative…
Generic junction conditions in brane-world scenarios
R. A. Battye, B. Carter
We present the generic junction conditions obeyed by a co-dimension one brane in an arbitrary background spacetime. As well as the usual Darmois-Israel junction conditions which re…
Prolongation of Friction Dominated Evolution for Superconducting Cosmic Strings
B. Carter, R. Brandenberger, A. -C. Davis +1
This investigation is concerned with cosmological scenarios based on particle physics theories that give rise to superconducting cosmic strings (whose subsequent evolution may prod…
Dilatonic formulation for conducting cosmic string models
Brandon Carter
It is shown how the the introduction of a suitably defined dilatonic auxiliary field, say, makes it possible for the non-linear Lagrangian for a generic elastic string model, o…
Second order Lagrangian and symplectic current for gravitationally perturbed Dirac-Goto-Nambu strings and branes
R. A. Battye, B. Carter
We extend a recent analysis of gravitational perturbations on Dirac-Nambu-Goto strings, membranes and higher dimensional branes. In an arbitrary gauge, it is shown that the relevan…
Non-divergence of gravitational self-interactions for Goto-Nambu strings
B. Carter, R. A. Battye
The classical linearised gravitational self interaction of a Goto-Nambu string is examined in four spacetime dimensions. Using a conveniently gauge independent tensorial treatment,…
