We calculate the self-energy and self-force for an electrically charged particle at rest in the background of Gott-Hiscock cosmic string space-time. We found the general expression for the self-energy which is expressed in terms of the $S$…
A shock wave propagating perpendicularly to an ambient magnetic field accelerates particles considerably faster than in the parallel propagation regime. However, the perpendicular acceleration stops after the shock overruns a circular…
In shockwave theory, the density, velocity and pressure jumps are derived from the conservation equations. Here, we address the physics of a weak shock the other way around. We first show that the density profile of a weak shockwave in a…

It has been pointed out that cosmic string solutions can exist in gauge field theories with broken symmetry even when $\pi _1(G/H)$ is trivial. The stability of such semilocal defects is not guaranteed by topology and depends on dynamical…

Inflation of cosmic gauge and global strings is investigated by numerically solving the combined Einstein and field equations. Above some critical symmetry-breaking scales, the strings undergo inflation along the radial direction as well as…
During stellar core collapse, which eventually leads to a supernovae explosion, the stalled shock is unstable due to the standing accretion shock instability (SASI). This instability induces large-scale non spherical oscillations of the…
In this paper, we are concerned with the large time behavior of viscous shock wave for the convective porous-media equation with degenerate viscosity. We get the regularity of the solution for general initial data and prove the shock wave…
