HEP Theory Journal ClubDisruption of Cosmic String Wakes by Gaussian FluctuationsDisrael CunhaOn the first part of the talk I will present a review of cosmic strings and some of its observational consequences. One of the observable object produced by a cosmic string is the wake, which is a high density sheet-like structure in the matter distribution. The second part will be a description of the work arXiv 1508.02317 in which the stability of the wake is analyzed. The important conclusion is that this object will not be globally disrupted until today. Finally, I will mention a possible consequence of this work for wake detection in the large scale structure.
