Cosmic String Solution in a Born-Infeld Type Theory of Gravity

In this work we derive an exact solution for the exterior metric of a local cosmic string in an effective theory of gravity, the so-called NDL theory, which is inspired in the Born-Infeld theory. The solution is given by a family of parameters which presents quite different features from that of the General Relativity theory. The differences come from the specific choice of the gravitation Lagrangian which is based on a spin-1 construction of the gravitation theory.

Contributions from Dilatonic Strings to the Flat Behaviour of the Rotational Curves in Galaxies

We analyse the flat behaviour of the rotational curves in some galaxies in the framework of a dilatonic, current-carrying string. We determine the expression of the tangential velocity of test objects following a stable circular equatorial orbit in this spacetime.

Dilatonic, Chiral Cosmic Strings

In this work, we deal with the chiral string model for which the world-sheet current is null in the framework of a scalar-tensor gravity. Our main goal is to analyse the impact of such a current on the gravitational macroscopic effects. For the purpose of this analysis, we first study the gravitational properties of the spacetime generated by this string in the presence of a dilaton field. Then, we carry out an investigation of the mechanism of formation and evolution of wakes in this framework, showing the explicit contribution of the chirality to this effect.
