Cosmic Strings Snap: Early Universe Defects Face Their Breaking Point
![The study demonstrates that gravitational wave spectra from metastable cosmic string networks-shaped by parameters including [latex]\kappa = 485[/latex], [latex]G_N\mu = 10^{-7}[/latex], and [latex]\Gamma_g = 50[/latex]-exhibit distinct characteristics dependent on network formation and early-time breaking mechanisms, with finite-temperature restoration and inflationary scenarios yielding spectra that either enhance decay due to thermal effects or require significantly larger κ values-approximately 2000-to align with observed pulsar timing array signals, as indicated by the location of [latex]f_{\rm low}[/latex] defined in Eq. (48).](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.04320v1/x11.png)
New research reveals how metastable cosmic strings-topological defects formed in the early universe-fracture due to finite temperature effects and quantum fluctuations.
