Description
The CVOS model is a thermodynamical framework designed to describe the evolution of a network of current‐carrying cosmic strings, where energy loss due to loop formation is incorporated phenomenologically. In this work, I investigate the stability of these configurations by analytically manipulating and examining the microscopic equations of the model. Subsequently, I analyze the evolution of the loops through numerical simulations in various regimes—namely, the linear, Kaluza–Klein, and Witten scenarios—and compare their behaviors. The different cases exhibit substantially distinct features, providing deeper insight into the small‐scale dynamics of the network.
