The stability of cosmic string loops

  • 1. Imperial Coll. of Science and Technology, London (UK). Blackett Lab.

Description

A general perturbation analysis is performed on closed string loops to investigate whether small perturbations cause the known class of non-self-intersecting loops to self-intersect. This leads to the conclusion that most of this class of loops are stable to small perturbations. (orig.)
