This book is a comprehensive survey of the current state of knowledge about the 


dynamics and gravitational properties of cosmic strings treated in the idealized 


classical approximation as line singularities described by the Nambu-Goto 


action. The author's purpose is to provide a standard reference to all work that 


has been published since the mid-1970s and to link this work together in a 


single conceptual framework and a single notational formalism. A working 


knowledge of basic general relativity is assumed. The book will be essential 


reading for researchers and postgraduate students in mathematics, theoretical 


physics, and astronomy interested in cosmic strings.
