Compactification and cosmic string phenomenology |
|
| Authors: | U Bleyer O Heinrich V M Nikolaenko |
| Abstract: | A U(1) model of gravitational, Higgs and, gauge fields is analysed. Two phases of the system are considered. In the case with broken symmetry we have the Nielsen-Olesen configuration. In the symmetric phase we find a space-time metric S2 × E12. This appears in full analogy to the Freund-Rubin compactification due to an antisymmeric tensor field. The connection of these structures with cosmic string phenomenology is analysed. |
