M.R. Anderson’s The Mathematical Theory of Cosmic Strings
Review
“Anderson gives a thorough overview and synopsis of the astrophysical hypothesis of cosmic strings. The book is current and will probably stay that way for some time because the subject is not changing quickly. The book is nicely written and easy to read, despite the fact that it is difficult and demands a solid mathematical foundation and an interest in differential geometry. The discussions of the infinite straight string and its related singularity structure in the latter portions were extremely fascinating to me. This is a useful reference work and results compilation. D. R. Matravers, Contemporary Physics, 2003, 44/5
The dynamics and gravitational characteristics of cosmic strings, which are handled in the idealized classical approximation as line singularities given by the Nambu-Goto action, are thoroughly surveyed in this book. The author’s goal is to integrate all of the work that has been published since the middle of the 1970s together in a single conceptual framework and a single notational formalism by offering a standard reference to all of that work. It is expected that you have a rudimentary understanding of general relativity. For academics and graduate students in mathematics, theoretical physics, and astronomy who are interested in cosmic strings, the book will be required reading.
