Vacuum Interaction of Crossed Cosmic Strings
In this paper, we consider the vacuum energy of a scalar field in the spacetime of two non-parallel cosmic strings. To this end, we obtain metrics for orthogonal straight cosmic strings and for slightly nonparallel strings. In the first case, we derive the separation-dependent part of the vacuum ene...
