Gravitational smoothing of kinks on cosmic string loops | | Jeremy M. Wachter
; Ken D. Olum
; | | Date: |
1 Sep 2016 | | Abstract: | We analyze the effect of gravitational back reaction on cosmic string loops
with kinks, which is an important determinant of the shape, and thus the
potential observability, of string loops which may exist in the universe today.
Kinks are not rounded off, but may be straightened out. In some loops,
symmetries prevent even this process, so that the loop evaporates in a
self-similar fashion and the kinks are unchanged. As an example, we give
results for the rectangular Garfinkle-Vachaspati loop. | | Source: | arXiv, 1609.1153 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
