We investigate the line element of spacetime around a linear cosmic string in the presence of a cosmological constant. We obtain the metric and argue that it should be discarded because of asymptotic considerations. Then a time dependent…
Cosmic super-strings interact generically with a tower of relatively light and/or strongly coupled Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes associated with the geometry of the internal space. In this paper, we study the production of spin-2 KK particles by…
We study the formation of D and F-cosmic strings in D-brane annihilation after brane inflation. We show that D-string formation by quantum de Sitter fluctuations is severely suppressed, due to suppression of RR field fluctuations in compact…
This paper investigates the scattering states of spin-1/2 particles in the spacetime of a spinning cosmic string with spacelike disclination and dislocation, with and without a Coulomb interaction. Working within the tetrad formalism, we…
Within the general framework of Liouville string theory, we construct a model for quantum D-brane fluctuations in the space-time background through which light closed-string states propagate. The model is based on monopole and vortex…
We study cosmic strings in the complex symmetron model, a scalar-tensor theory with a spontaneously broken local $U(1)$ symmetry in low matter density regions. Using numerical simulations, we show that these strings preferentially attach to…
We study the relativistic quantum of scalar particles in the cosmic string space-time with a screw dislocation (torsion) subject to a uniform magnetic field including the magnetic quantum flux in the presence of potential. We solve the…
In the present paper we investigate the classical self-interaction associated with a charged scalar point particle placed at rest in the gravitational field of a linear topological defect known in literature as cosmic dispiration, a…
We compute fermion quantum corrections to the energy of cosmic strings. A number of rather technical tools is needed to formulate this correction and we employ isospin and gauge invariance to verify consistency of these tools. These…
We reconsider the quantum vacuum interaction energy between two straight parallel cosmic strings. This problem was discussed several times in an approach treating both strings perturbatively and treating only one perturbatively. Here we…
In this paper, we study the covariant form of the non-relativistic Schrodinger-Pauli equation in the space-time generated by a cosmic string and discuss the solutions of this equation in present of interaction between the magnetic dipole…
Cosmological implication of rolling tachyons is reported in the context of effective field theory. With a brief review of rolling tachyons in both flat and curved spacetimes, we study the string cosmological model with both tachyon and…
In this paper, we consider two types of topological solitons in a generalized Born-Infeld-Higgs model. We explore the self-dual structure of the model and prove the existence of planar vortex solutions. Furthermore, we couple the system…
The properties of a stationary massless string endowed with intrinsic spin are discussed. The spacetime is Minkowskian geometrically but the topology is nontrivial due to the horizon located on the surface $r=0$, similar with Rindler's…
Only 5% of what makes up the Universe is well understood, and it consists of baryonic matter and radiation. Dark matter and energy correspond to the remaining 95% of the Universe, and their origin and evolution have not yet been…
Chiral cosmic strings are produced naturally at the end of inflation in supersymmetric models where the symmetry is broken via a D-term. Consequently in such theories, where both inflation and cosmic strings contribute to the density and…
We analyze the space-time structure of local gauge string with a phenomenological energy momentum tensor, as prescribed by Vilenkin in an arbitrary number of space-time dimensions with a non-zero cosmological constant >. A set of solutions…
In this paper we show how quantum corrections, although perturbatively small, may play an important role in the analysis of the existence of some classical models. This, in fact, appears to be the case of static, uniform--density models of…
We study in some detail the master equation, and its solution in a simplified case modelling flavour oscillations of a two-level system, stemming from the Liouville-string approach to quantum space time foam. In this framework we discuss…
We investigate a new class of LRS Bianchi type-II cosmological models by revisiting in the paper of Mishra {\it et al} (2013) by considering a new deceleration parameter (DP) depending on the time in string cosmology for the modified…
