Coupled currents in cosmic strings
Marc Lilley, Xavier Martin, Patrick Peter
We first examine the microstructure of a cosmic string endowed with two simple Abelian currents. This microstructure depends on two state parameters. We then provide the macroscopi…
Current-carrying cosmic string loops 3D simulation: towards a reduction of the vorton excess problem
Adriana Cordero-Cid, Xavier Martin, Patrick Peter
The dynamical evolution of superconducting cosmic string loops with specific equations of state describing timelike and spacelike currents is studied numerically. This analysis ext…
Current-carrying string loop motion: Limits on the classical description and shocks
X. Martin, P. Peter
The dynamical evolution of superconducting cosmic strings is much more complicated than that of simple Goto-Nambu strings. For this reason, there are only a few known analytical so…
Dynamical Stability of Witten Rings
X. Martin, P. Peter
The dynamical stability of cosmic rings, or vortons, is investigated for the particular equation of state given by the Witten bosonic model. It is found that there exists a finite…
