4 Introduction The difference between Cosmic String and Cosmic Superstring? Cosmic Strings or Cosmic Superstring? Classical Field Theory Type IIB String Theory -d (spatially) topological defect due to series of SSB in the early time of the Universe. Their forms and the stabilities can be explained from homotopy group. Classify according to the type of symmetry. F and D strings were produced after the collision of a pair of D-3 branes (the end of inflation). They are BPS-object with different charges cosmic superstrings. P. Sirimachan (Jacobs University Bremen) Geodesics Cosmic Superstring 5/5/ 4 /

5 Introduction The difference between Cosmic String and Cosmic Superstring? From Cosmic string to Cosmic Superstring? When strings collide, Same type. Different type. They can pass through or reconnect. The probability of the intercommuting is close to due to the energetically favorable shortcut. They cannot intercommute but they exchange charges and form a junction because of charge conservation The junction of F-and D strings with winding number p and q respectively is called p-q strings.

6 Reviews and Motivations Reviews Reviews In the framework of field theoretical models Saffin(5) and Rajantie et al.(7): (p,q) Bound states have been investigated by using the different type of Abelian Higgs strings with a coupling of scalar field via potential. Salmi(8): Type-I Abelian Higgs strings can form a bound state. Hartmann & Urrestilla (8): (p,q) Bound stated have been studied in a curved space-time. Hartmann & Minkov (9): (p,q) Bound stated have been studied in anti-de-sitter space-time. Question What should be observational consequences of their existence? P. Sirimachan (Jacobs University Bremen) Geodesics Cosmic Superstring 5/5/ 6 /

7 Reviews and Motivations Motivations Objectives & Motivations The goals of this work Investigate (p,q) string space-times by solving geodesic equations numerically. Study the effect of binding parameter, winding numbers and the ratio of symmetry breaking and Plank mass scale on change the geodesics. Connect the results to the observable phenomena e.g. perihelion shift, light deflection. Why we need to study p-q strings? The observational part of the String Theory. Better understanding of the fundamental theory of nature. P. Sirimachan (Jacobs University Bremen) Geodesics Cosmic Superstring 5/5/ 7 /

43 Conclusions Conclusions Interaction between strings has influence on the change of metric profile and the energy per unit length of strings. Bound state increases possibility of a test particle to have an interaction with strings. 3 In comparison to infinitely thin cosmic string, bound orbits are possible for a finite width of cosmic strings and perihelion shift can become negative.
