Cosmic string Y-junctions: a comparison between field theoretic and Nambu-Goto dynamics
We explore the formation of cosmic string Y-junctions when strings of two different types collide, which has recently become important since string theory can yield cosmic strings of distinct types. Using a model containing two types of local U(1) string and stable composites, we simulate the collis...
