Multiple Photonic Shells Around a Line Singularity

TL;DR

This paper explores how photonic shells can surround line singularities like cosmic strings, effectively screening them and causing them to resemble planar walls, which has implications for understanding their observable effects.

Contribution

It introduces a model where photonic shells surround line singularities, providing a new way to interpret their physical appearance and potential detectability.

Findings

Photonic shells can screen line singularities.

Line singularities can appear as planar walls due to photonic shells.

The model suggests observable effects of cosmic strings may be altered.

Abstract

Line singularities including cosmic strings may be screened by photonic shells until they appear as a planar wall.
