Enhanced baryon number violation due to cosmic strings
When quarks and leptons propagate in the background of a grand unified cosmic string, various baryon number violating processes can occur. We argue that, because of the long-range pure gauge field that surrounds the string, the cross sections for these processes are generically enhanced by large fac...
