Periodic cosmic string formation and dynamics

Abstract We study string formation and dynamics in a scalar field theory with a global U(1) symmetry. If a scalar field Φ subject to a wine-bottle potential is initially displaced from the potential minimum, and even if this is done uniformly and coherently over large spatial patches, we show that s...
