Cosmic string cusps and their application to fast radio bursts

This thesis concerns observational characteristics of two theoretical aspects of cosmic strings. The first is relativistic modification of cusps. Nambu-Goto strings generically develop cusps, regions of the string which emit coherent electromagnetic radiation when they decay. We point out that consi...
