Screwed superconducting cosmic strings

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: 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 angle, the geodesics of and the gravitational force on a test-particle moving under the action of this screwed SCS. A couple of potentially observable astrophysical phenomena are highlighted: the dynamics of compact objects orbiting torsioned SCS and the accretion of matter onto it.
