Formation of Wakes by Chiral, Conducting Cosmic Strings

TL;DR

This paper investigates how chiral, conducting cosmic strings form wakes and compares their wake formation mechanism to that of ordinary strings, highlighting their cosmological significance.

Contribution

It demonstrates that wake formation by chiral strings is similar to that of ordinary strings, providing new insights into their cosmological effects.

Findings

Wake formation mechanism is similar for chiral and ordinary strings

Chiral strings are produced at the end of D-term inflation

Implications for cosmological structure formation

Abstract

Chiral cosmic strings are naturally produced at the end of D-term inflation and they present very interesting cosmological consequences. In this work, we investigate the formation and evolution of wakes by a chiral string. We show that, for cold dark matter, the mechanism of forming wakes by a chiral string is similar to the mechanism by an ordinary string.
