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…
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,…
