Dynamics of a self-gravitating thin cosmic string

Year: 1997

Type: article

Abstract: We assume that a self-gravitating thin string can be locally described by what we shall call a smoothed cone. If we impose a specific constraint on the model of the string, then its central line obeys the Nambu-Goto equations. If no constraint is added, then the world sheet of the central line is a totally geodesic surface.
