OverviewThis text provides a survey of the state of knowledge about the dynamics and gravitational properties of cosmic strings treated in the idealized classical approximation as line singularities described by the Nambu-Goto action. The author's purpose is to provide a standard reference to all work that has been published since the mid-1970s and to link this work together in a single conceptual framework and a single notational formalism. A working knowledge of basic general relativity is assumed.; This book should be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in mathematics, theoretical physics and astronomy, and those interested in cosmic strings.
