%0 Journal Article %T Cosmic String Network Evolution in arbitrary Friedmann-Lemaitre models %A Carsten van de Bruck %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.57.1306 %X We use the velocity-dependent one-scale model by Martins & Shellard to investigate the evolution of a GUT long cosmic string network in arbitrary Friedmann-Lemaitre models. Four representative models are used to show that in general there is no scaling solution. The implications for structure formation are briefly discussed. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9705208v1
