Some exact solutions in Bianchi VI0 string cosmology

Following the techniques used by Letelier and Stachel some new physically relevant explicit Bianchi VI₀ solutions of string cosmology with magnetic field are reported. They include two models describing distributions of Takabayashi strings and geometric strings respectively.     

Gravity of Global U(1) Cosmic String

We show that a static one-dimensional U(1) global string is confined by its own gravitational field to a finite radius. The energy-momentum tensor of a global string decreases exponentially with the distance from its core. We call it self-localization. We show that the order parameter is a decreasing function of the symmetry breaking energy scale. We have found the maximum value of the energy scale _max, where the order parameter vanishes. Beyond the maximum value > _max the gravitational field of a global string gets so strong, that it restores the initial unbroken symmetry. In the close vicinity of the maximum value _max of the symmetry breaking scale we get a closed-form solution for the metric. It reduces to the Galileo metric on the axis and transforms into the Kasner-type solution near the boundary of a string.     

Letter: A Cylindrically Symmetric Solution in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton Gravity

We consider the existence of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton plus fluid systems for the case of stationary cylindrically symmetric spacetimes. An exact inhomogeneous -order solution is found, where the parameter parametrizes the non-minimally coupled electromagnetic field. Some its physical attributes are investigated and a connection with the already known Gödel-type solution is given. It is shown that our solution also survives in the string-inspired charged gravity framework. We find that a magnetic field has positive influence on the chronology violation unlike the dilaton influence.     

Cylindrical Sources in Full Einstein and Brans-Dicke Gravity

It was shown by Hiscock that the energy-momentum tensor commonly used to model local cosmic strings in linearized Einstein gravity can be extended and used in the full theory, obtaining a metric in the exterior of the source with the same deficit angle. Here we show that this tensor is an exception within a family for which a static solution does not exist in full Einstein nor in Brans-Dicke gravity.     

String cosmology in higher dimensional spherically symmetric space-time

Some cosmological solutions for string model are derived in higher dimensional spherically symmetric space-time, following the techniques used by Letelier. The equations of state for strings have been used for different solutions. Also polynomial relation between the metric coefficients has been assumed in some cases.     

String theory in five dimensional cosmological models

A study on string theory has been done in five dimensional flat space-time. Barotropic equation of state andp-string model are discussed. Also a polynomial relation between the two scale factors is assumed. In some special cases the solution reduces to generalized Kasner metric. Further diminision of extra dimension with the evolution of universe is exhibited. A detailed study of phase-space analysis is done for geometric string model.     

Some properties of the n-dimensional plane symmetric solution

An n-dimensional static plane symmetric solution of Einstein field equation, which is judged as the source of n-dimensional Taub solution, is presented in our previous work. The properties of geodesics of this solution are studied in this Letter. The essence of the source is also investigated. A phantom with dust and photon is suggested as the substance of the source matter.     

The Inflationary Solutions with O(2,2) Duality Symmetry in String Cosmologies

The low energy duality string model is investicated in time-dependent metric, torsion, dilaton background fields and potential fields, the inflationary solutions for string cosmologies are obtained when the space-time dimension is D = 3. It is found that the new cosmological solutions can be generated through O(d, d) duality transformations.     

Two-Flux Colliding Plane Waves in String Theory

We construct the two-flux colliding plane wave solutions in higher-dimensional gravity theory with dilaton,and two complementary fluxes. Two kinds of solutions have been obtained: Bell-Szekeres (BS) type and homogeneous type. After imposing the junction condition, we find that only the BS type solution is physically well-defined. Furthermore, we show that the future curvature singularity is always developed for our solutions.     

Generalization of Some Algebras in the Bosonic String Theory

We assume that the total target phase space is non-commutative. This leads to the generalization of the oscillator-algebra of the string, and the corresponding Virasoso algebra. The effects of this non-commutativity on some string states will be studied.     

Two-Flux Colliding Plane Waves in String Theory

We construct the two-flux colliding plane wave solutions in higher-dimensional gravity theory with dilaton, and two complementary fluxes. Two kinds of solutions have been obtained： Bell-Szekeres （BS） type and homogeneous type. After imposing the junction condition, we find that only the BS type solution is physically well-defined. Furthermore, we show that the future curvature singularity is always developed for our solutions.     

String Cosmological Models in Lyra Geometry

The Bianchi type-V cosmological solutions of massive strings have been investigated in the theory based on Lyra’s geometry in normal gauge, in the presence as well as absence of the magnetic field. The physical and kinematical behaviors of the models have also been discussed.     

Kalb–Ramond Dipole Solution in Low-Energy Bosonic String Theory

We construct a new solution subspace for the bosonic string theory toroidally compactified to 3 dimensions. This subspace corresponds to the complex harmonic scalar field coupled to the effective 3–dimensional gravity. We calculate a class of the asymptotically flat and free of the Dirac string peculiarity solutions which describes a Kalb–Ramond dipole source with the generally nontrivial dilaton characteristics.     

Maxwell Equations in the Spinning Cosmic String Spacetimes

Maxwell equations are explicitly written in spin weighted form by using NP formalism in general flat spacetimes. Corresponding Maxwell equations are obtained in spinning and straight cosmic string backgrounds.     

Wilson Loops and Topological Phases in Closed String Theory

Using covariant phase space formulations for the natural topological invariants associated with the world-surface in closed string theory, we find that certain Wilson loops defined on the world-surface and that preserve topological invariance, correspond to wave functionals for the vacuum state with zero energy. The differences and similarities with the 2-dimensional QED proposed by Schwinger early are discussed. PACS Numbers : 81T30, 81T45     

Quasilocal Energy for Static Charged Black Holes in String Theory

The Brown-York quasilocal energies of some static charged dilaton black holes are calculated, and then the validity of Martinez‘s conjecture is explored in string theory. It is shown that the energy is positive and monotonically decreases to the ADM mass at spatial infinity, and the conjecture that the Brown-York quasilocal energy at the outer horizon of black hole reduces to twice of its irreducible mass is still applicable for the static charged black holes in string theory. The result is different from Bose-Naing‘s one.``     

Plane Symmetric String Cosmological Model in Modified Theory of General Relativity

It is shown that homogeneous plane symmetric string cosmological model for Takabayasi string i.e. ρ=(1+ω)λ does not exist in Barber’s second self creation theory. Further it is found that the string cosmological model in this theory exist only when ω=0. Therefore model for ρ=λ (geometric string) is constructed. Some physical and geometrical properties of the model are discussed.     

Four-Dimensional Dilatonic Black Holes in Gauss-Bonnet Extended String Gravity

An internal singularity of a string four-dimensional black hole with second order curvature corrections is investigated. A restriction to a minimal size of a neutral black hole is obtained in the frame of the model considered. Vacuum polarization of the surrounding space-time caused by this minimal-size black hole is also discussed.     

A Vaidya-type radiating solution in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and its application to braneworld

We consider a Vaidya-type radiating spacetime in Einstein gravity with the Gauss-Bonnet combination of quadratic curvature terms. Simply generalizing the known static black hole solutions in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, we present an exact solution in arbitrary dimensions with the energy-momentum tensor given by a null fluid form. As an application, we derive an evolution equation for the “dark radiation” in the Gauss-Bonnet braneworld.
