Cosmic Strings in an Open Universe: Quantitative Evolution and Observational Consequences
P. P. Avelino, R. R. Caldwell, C. J. A. P. Martins
The cosmic string scenario in an open universe is developed -- including the equations of motion, a model of network evolution, the large angular scale CMB temperature anisotropy,…

Entropy Perturbations due to Cosmic Strings
Pedro Avelino, Robert Caldwell
We examine variations in the equation of state of the cosmic string portion of the cosmological fluid which lead to perturbations of the background matter density. These fluctuatio…

On the Evolution of Scalar Metric Perturbations in an Inflationary Cosmology
R. R. Caldwell
We further clarify how scalar metric perturbations are amplified in an inflationary cosmology. We first construct a simple, analytic model of an inflationary cosmology in which the…
