Description
Cosmic strings are line-like topological defects which can be formed in the early universe. In this talk, I first review basic concepts and general features of cosmic strings. Then I will explain how to evaluate interaction energies of two cosmic strings, and discuss our recent results. I also discuss phenomenological implications of our results such as the formation of the bound state of cosmic strings.
