Zipping and Unzipping in String Networks: Dynamics of Y-junctions
A. Avgoustidis, A. Pourtsidou, M. Sakellariadou
We study, within the Nambu-Goto approximation, the stability of massive string junctions under the influence of the tensions of three strings joining together in a Y-type configura…

On the stability of Cosmic String Y-junctions
Neil Bevis, Edmund J. Copeland, Pierre-Yves Martin +4
We study the evolution of non-periodic cosmic string loops containing Y-junctions, such as may form during the evolution of a network of (p,q) cosmic superstrings. We set up and so…
