Scientific paper

An analytic approach to the phase space for a network of cosmic strings is presented which correctly predicts the main features of the network at formation, and agreement is found with data from string simulations. The energy in string-string interactions is ignored, and only states created by the D = d-2 transverse-mode oscillators are considered. Implications for superstrings or heterotic strings in the early universe are discussed, and it is found that at high density the favored configuration for closed bosonic strings is one large string and a scale-invariant distribution of loops, in disagreement with previous results.
