In this paper, we initiate the study of wave propagation in a recently proposed mathematical model for stretch-limited elastic strings. We consider the longitudinal motion of a simple class of uniform, semi-infinite, stretch-limited strings…

We present a simple sandwich gravitational wave of the Robinson-Trautman family. This is interpreted as representing a shock wave with a spherical wavefront which propagates into a Minkowski background minus a wedge. (i.e. the background…

In General Relativity, cosmic strings are well known to produce a static, locally flat spacetime with a wedge removed. If the tension exceeds a critical value, the deficit angle becomes larger than $ 2\pi $, leading to a compact exterior…

The equation which governs the temporal evolution of a gravitational wave (GW) in curved space-time can be treated as the Schrodinger equation for a particle moving in the presence of an effective potential. When GWs propagate in an…

We investigate the evolution of a superconducting string network with arbitrary, constant string current in the friction dominated regime. In the absence of an external magnetic field the network always reaches a scaling solution. However,…

We study the interaction of several types of static straight cosmic strings, including local strings, global strings, and bosonic superconducting strings with and without magnetic currents. First, we evaluate the interaction energy of two…

We show that it is possible to build up a consistent model describing a superconducting cosmic string (SCS) endowed with torsion. A full string solution is obtained by matching the internal and the external solutions. We derive the deficit…

In supernova remnants, the nonlinear amplification of magnetic fields upstream of collisionless shocks is essential for the acceleration of cosmic rays to the energy of the "knee" at 10^{15.5}eV. A nonresonant instability driven by the…

We calculate the electromagnetic self-force on a stationary linear distribution of four-current in the spacetime of multiple cosmic strings. It is shown that if the current is infinitely thin and stretched along a line which is parallel to…

We investigate the decay of current on a superconducting cosmic string through quantum tunneling. We construct the instanton describing tunneling in a simple bosonic string model, and estimate the decay rate. The tunneling rate vanishes in…

Recently, the chiral superconductivity of the cosmic string in the axion model has gathered attention. The superconductive nature can alter the standard understanding of the cosmology of the axion model. For example, a string loop with a…

A model of a straight superconducting global cosmic string is examined in a setting wherein the string supports a charge/current pulse described by a travelling wave along the string. Linearized field equations are obtained for fluctuations…

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 scaling solution is reached. We demonstrate that this gives…

Formation of fourth-sound shock waves in narrow channels filled with superfluid helium is studied. Physical and mathematical conditions at the surface of discontinuity are established. These conditions differ somewhat from those in case of…

In supersymmetric theories, topological defects can have nontrivial behaviors determined purely by whether or not supersymmetry is restored in the defect core. A well-known example of this is that some supersymmetric cosmic strings are…

In quantum theory particles are represented as wave packets. Shock wave analysis of quantum equations of motion shows that wave function representation in general and wave packet description in particular contains discontinuities due to a…

Shock wave theory was first studied for gas dynamics, for which shocks appear as compression waves. A shock wave is characterized as a sharp transition, even discontinuity in the flow. In fact, shocks appear in many different physical…

The condition of linear instability for a converging cylindrical strong shock wave (SW) in an arbitrary viscous medium is obtained in the limit of a large stationary SW radius, when it is possible to consider the same Rankine-Hugoniot jump…

The Cauchy problem is considered for the perturbed strictly hyperbolic 2x2 system of quasilinear equations. The unperturbed problem has a persistent solution with two discontinuity lines (shock waves). Both an asymptotics of shock waves…

The condition of linear instability for a converging cylindrical shock wave in an arbitrary inviscid medium is obtained. The shape of resulting shock wave front is not changed significantly, but the restriction of energy cumulation can be…
