The effect of the cosmic string is to pull the black holes towards each other, opposing to the background field. An estimation of the production rate using the Euclidean action shows that the process is suppressed as compared to the formation of black holes without strings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1995-11-08T16:27:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cosmic string", "black holes", "pair creation", "production", "magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
