High-harmonic cosmic strings and gravitational waves
In this thesis we describe high-harmonic cosmic string loops in a general relativistic context, and study the implications of high-harmonic content for the predicted gravitational wave signal from cosmic string networks. Initially, we introduce the variational principle, spacetime concepts and other...
