Abstract: | We show that cosmic strings moving through the plasma at the time of a first-order quark-hadron transition in the early universe
generate baryon inhomogeneities, which can survive till the nucleosynthesis epoch. We find out how these inhomogeneities actually
affect the calculated values of the light element abundances. Recently a wealth of observational data from various experiments
have helped to reduce the uncertainties in the values of these abundances. Using these we show that it is possible to derive
constraints in the presence of cosmic strings during the quark-hadron transition. |
