Resumen:
We study vortex solutions in non-abelian gauge theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking. We construct string configurations with electric charge showing that they necessarily have infinite energy per unit length. Although this prevents its application in problems like catalysis of proton decay, we show, by analyzing the cosmological evolution of the strings, that they can produce density fluctuations leading to galaxy formation.
