Gravitational field of cosmic strings in theories with extra spatial dimensions differs significantly from that in the 4D Einstein's theory. This means that all gravity induced properties of cosmic strings need to be revised. Here we consider the effect of vacuum polarization outside a straight infinitely thin cosmic string embedded in RS2 brane world.

In this paper, we study the covariant Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) equation in the cosmic-string space-time and consider the interaction of a DKP field with the gravitational field produced by topological defects in order to examine the influence of topology on this system. We solve the spin-zero DKP oscillator in the presence of the Cornell interaction with a rotating coordinate system in an exact analytical manner for nodeless and one-node states by proposing a proper ansatz solution.

Cosmic strings, as remnants of the symmetry breaking phase in the Early universe, may be susceptible to nonlocal physics. Here, we show that the presence of a Poincaré-invariant nonlocality—parametrized by a factor [Formula: see text]—regularizes the gravitational field and thereby changes the properties of spacetime: it is now simply connected and the angle deficit around the cosmic string becomes a function of the radial distance. Similar changes occur for the nonlocal gravitomagnetic field of a rotating cosmic string, and we translate these mathematical facts into the language of nonlocal gravitoelectromagnetism and thereby provide a physical interpretation. We hope that these insights might provide a helpful perspective in the search for traces of nonlocal physics in our universe.

I discuss relativistic extensions of MOND in which the metric couples normally to matter. I argue that MOND might be a residual effect from the vacuum polarization of infrared gravitons produced during primordial inflation. If so, MOND corrections to the gravitational field equations would be nonlocal. Nonlocality also results when one constructs metric field equations that reproduce the Tully–Fisher relation, along with sufficient weak lensing. I give the full field equations for the simplest class of models, and I specialize these equations to the geometries relevant for cosmology. I conclude by sketching the direction of future studies.
