Cosmic String Current Stability
Stephen C. Davis, Warren B. Perkins, Anne-Christine Davis
The stability of fermionic charge carriers on cosmic strings is considered. We show that neutral fermion currents in cosmic strings are always chiral or time-like, in contrast to t…
Chiral Vortons and Cosmological Constraints on Particle Physics
Brandon Carter, Anne-Christine Davis
We investigate the cosmological consequences of particle physics theories that admit stable loops of current-carrying string - vortons. In particular, we consider chiral theories w…
Cosmological Consequences of Slow-Moving Bubbles in First-Order Phase Transitions
Anne-Christine Davis, Matthew Lilley
In cosmological first-order phase transitions, the progress of true-vacuum bubbles is expected to be significantly retarded by the interaction between the bubble wall and the hot p…
Inflation in Supersymmetric Cosmic String Theories
A. C. Davis, M. Majumdar
We examine a non-Abelian SUSY gauge theory and a SUSY U(1) theory originally used to investigate the microphysics of cosmic strings in supersymmetric theories.…
Cosmological Consequences of Superconducting String Networks
K. Dimopoulos, A. C. Davis
We consider the cosmological consequences of a network of superconducting cosmic strings. For strong enough current the period of friction domination never ends. Instead a plasma s…
