Some effects of non-conservative gravity on cosmic string configurations

Abstract We investigate some consequences of a specific non-conservation of the energy-momentum tensor for the physics of certain cosmic string configurations. This non-conservation was induced by a new gravitational theory recently introduced as an attempt to incorporate dissipative systems in the...
