Transonic Elastic Model for Wiggly Goto-Nambu String

Year: 1995

Type: article

Abstract: The hitherto controversial proposition that a ``wiggly'' Goto-Nambu cosmic string can be effectively represented by an elastic string model of permanently transonic type (with energy density $U$ inversely proportional to its tension $T$) is shown to have a firm mathematical basis.
