摘要
We discuss friction-dominated vortex-string evolution using an analytic model recently developed by the authors. By treating the average string velocity, as well as the characteristic lengthscale, as dynamical variables, we can provide a quantitative picture of the complete evolution of a vortex-string network. Previously known scaling laws are confirmed, and quantitative predictions regarding loop production and evolution are made. [S0163-1829(97)02841-5].
