Abstract

A charged scalar field is quantized in the background of a cosmic string which is generalized to a (d ‐ 2)‐brane in locally flat (d + 1)‐dimensional space‐time. The induced vacuum current is found to circulate around the string. The current is a holomorphic function of the space dimension, decreasing exponentially with the distance from the string. The dependence of the current on the flux and tension of the string is comprehensively analyzed.

String cosmology models predict a cosmic background of gravitational waves produced during a period of dilatondriven inflation. I describe the background, present astrophysical and cosmological bounds on it, and discuss in some detail how it may be possible to detect it with large operating and plan
