Gravitational back-reaction from colliding travelling waves on a cosmic string
In this thesis, I investigate the effects of the gravitational back-reaction force on two colliding triangular pulses travelling along an infinite cosmic string. The force is deter mined using a perturbative approach in the Lorentz gauge. This gauge choice is found to be reasonable in several asp...
