We perform the analysis of evolution of cosmic string loops in the background of Gauss-Bonnet-de Sitter. The equation of motion of cosmic string loops in this spacetime is derived. Having solved the equation numerical...

We obtain a lower bound on the spacetime-weighted average of the energy density for the scalar field in four-dimensional flat spacetime. The bound takes the form of a quantum inequality. The inequality does not rely o...
