基于 Frautschi 和 Carlitz 的早期工作，提出了一种宇宙弦网络相空间的分析方法。它正确地预测了网络形成时的主要特征，并且与弦模拟中出现的图像非常吻合。我们的结果对于早期宇宙中的超弦或异质弦也具有重要意义。
An analytic approach to the phase space for a network of cosmic strings is presented, based on earlier work of Frautschi and Carlitz. It correctly predicts the main features of the network at formation, and is in good agreement with the picture emerging from string simulations. Our results also have important implications for superstrings or heterotic strings in the early Universe.
