This paper introduces a covariant classical action for a superconducting string and derives
the equations of motion for the string and its charge carriers. A formula for the …

We investigate the effect that a current flowing on a superconducting string has on its motion,
and demonstrate that for a wide class of models the current can build up so that the tension …

The dynamical properties of superconducting strings are explored in a model using
dimensional reduction to couple strings to the electromagnetic field. The model essentially …

The power of electromagnetic radiation from a current-carrying loop of superconducting
string is much greater than that given by a naive estimate. Most of the radiation originates …

Several problems in string electrodynamics are discussed. Electric currents induced in
strings oscillating in stationary electric and magnetic fields are calculated. In some cases the …

This paper explores the electromagnetic self-interaction of oscillating, superconducting
cosmic string loops. A linear integral operator formalism is developed. To order q 2 …

This paper explores a four-dimensional field theory in which superconducting bosonic
cosmic strings can form. We solve the field equations and explore the parameter space …

The set of coupled field equations for the standard model of a bosonic superconducting
cosmic string is solved numerically. Only a straight, infinitely long string is considered. The …

Fermions which couple to the fields comprising a Nielsen-Olesen vortex (cosmic string) can
generally exist as massive bound modes on the string. If these fermions carry …

The metric around a current-carrying superconducting cosmic string of the Witten type is
estimated for both timelike and spacelike currents by means of a matching at the string …
