Cosmic Strings Stabilized by Quantum Fluctuations
H. Weigel
We compute fermion quantum corrections to the energy of cosmic strings. A number of rather technical tools is needed to formulate this correction and we employ isospin and gauge in…

Isospin Invariance and the Vacuum Polarization Energy of Cosmic Strings
H. Weigel, M. Quandt, N. Graham
We corroborate the previously applied spectral approach to compute the vacuum polarization energy of string configurations in models similar to the standard model of particle physi…
