摘要
The leading-order finite-width corrections to the equation of motion describing the motion of a domain wall are derived. The regime in which this equation of motion is invalid is discussed. Spherically and cylindrically symmetric solutions to this equation of motion are found. We also clarify a misconception that has arisen in recent years regarding the rigidity (or otherwise) of cosmic strings. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
