Current-carrying string network evolution in an external magnetic field
P. B. Barbosa, C. J. A. P. Martins
Cosmic strings are topological defects arising in a variety of cosmological scenarios, as the Universe undergoes symmetry-breaking phase transitions, whose discovery would offer va…
Dynamics of junctions and the multi-tension velocity-dependent one-scale model
I. Yu. Rybak, A. Avgoustidis, C. J. A. P. Martins
The dynamics of string junctions and their influence on the evolution of cosmic superstring networks are studied in full detail. We review kinematic constraints for colliding strin…
Unified model for vortex-string network evolution
C. J. A. P. Martins, J. N. Moore, E. P. S. Shellard
We describe and numerically test the velocity-dependent one-scale (VOS) string evolution model, a simple analytic approach describing a string network with the averaged correlation…
