Electromagnetic radiation from a global cosmic string in an external magnetic field

A global cosmic string may couple to electromagnetism as a consequence of anomalous triangle diagrams. In an external magnetic field, the gradients of the Nambu-Goldstone boson around the string give rise to an extended polarization current. When the string oscillates, it radiates electromagnetic wa...
