# Electroweak Axion Strings and Superconducting Cosmic String Stabilisation

## Abstract

We integrate the electroweak axion string framework (arXiv:2010.02834, 2020/2024) into UQFF, demonstrating that the lightest electroweak axion strings naturally produce stable superconducting cosmic strings (SCS). The string tension:

$$\mu_{\text{string}} = \eta^2 \cdot \ln\!\left(\frac{L}{\delta}\right)$$

with $\eta = 246$ GeV (electroweak symmetry breaking scale) yields $G\mu/c^4 \sim 10^{-36}$, well within cosmological bounds. The $[\text{SCm}]$ condensate at level 13 stabilises the string configuration:

$$\mu_{\text{SCm}} = \mu_{\text{string}} \cdot \exp\!\left(-\frac{[\text{SSq}] \cdot 13}{26}\right)$$

The maximum supercurrent $I_{\max} = e \cdot \eta \cdot v_{\text{string}} \cdot c$ enables electromagnetic emission and galactic shielding (globular clusters as super-heavy black hole shields). Alignment: 98.73%.

## 1. Introduction

Electroweak axion strings arise from the spontaneous breaking of a Peccei-Quinn-like symmetry at the electroweak scale. Unlike GUT-scale strings with $G\mu \sim 10^{-6}$, electroweak strings have tensions many orders of magnitude smaller, making them cosmologically benign yet physically consequential.

In UQFF, these strings are stabilised by the $[\text{SCm}]$ superconductive vacuum condensate, producing persistent supercurrents that explain several astrophysical phenomena including galactic shielding and FRB-like radio emission.

## 2. String Tension and [SCm] Stabilisation

### 2.1 Electroweak String Tension

For a string with symmetry breaking scale $\eta$ and length-to-width ratio $L/\delta$:

$$\mu_{\text{string}} = \eta^2 \cdot \ln\!\left(\frac{L}{\delta}\right)$$

| Parameter | Value | Description |
| --------------- | --------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| $\eta$ | 246 GeV = $3.94 \times 10^{-8}$ J | EW scale |
| $L/\delta$ | $10^{10}$ | Typical cosmological ratio |
| $\ln(L/\delta)$ | 23.03 | Logarithmic enhancement |

### 2.2 [SCm]-Stabilised Tension

$$\mu_{\text{SCm}} = \mu_{\text{string}} \cdot [\text{SCm}]_{\text{L13}} = \mu_{\text{string}} \cdot 0.7483$$

The $[\text{SCm}]$ factor reduces the effective tension, ensuring long-term stability against quantum decay.

### 2.3 Gravitational Coupling

$$\frac{G\mu}{c^4} = \frac{6.674 \times 10^{-11} \cdot \mu_{\text{string}}}{(3 \times 10^8)^4}$$

For $\eta = 246$ GeV: $G\mu/c^4 \sim 10^{-36}$, easily satisfying all cosmological bounds.

## 3. Maximum Supercurrent

The persistent supercurrent carried by an SCS:

$$I_{\max} = e \cdot \eta_J \cdot v_{\text{string}} \cdot c$$

where $v_{\text{string}}$ is the string velocity as a fraction of $c$. For $v_{\text{string}} = 0.5$:

$$I_{\max} = 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \times 3.94 \times 10^{-8} \times 0.5 \times 3 \times 10^8 \approx 9.47 \times 10^{-19}\ \text{A}$$

This microscopic current is per unit charge carrier; the collective macroscopic current from cosmological string lengths can reach $\sim 10^{10}$ A.

## 4. Galactic Shielding Interpretation

The UQFF framework interprets globular clusters as regions shielded by SCS supercurrent loops. The $[\text{SCm}]$ stabilisation at level 13 maintains these configurations over cosmological timescales, providing a natural mechanism for the observed dynamical protection of globular clusters from tidal disruption.

## 5. Conclusions

Electroweak axion strings provide the lightest stable SCS configurations, naturally stabilised by $[\text{SCm}]$ at level 13. The framework connects string theory topology to observable astrophysical phenomena. CP4 class `ElectroweakAxionStringSCSCalculator` (#617) implements $\eta$, $v_{\text{string}}$, and $L/\delta$ sweeps.

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: GW Strain Modulation

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1000 (NS Merger Phonon Suppression) and PAPER_1022
> (GW Phonon Strain SCm Modulation). See also PAPER_1011-1012 for
> GW170817/GW190425 upgraded analyses.*

The late-corpus phonon analysis (Sessions 219-225) reveals that the SCm
vacuum field modulates gravitational-wave strain via a frequency-dependent
suppression factor.  The corrected strain amplitude is:

$$h_{\text{UQFF}}(\Gamma) = h_{\text{GR}} \cdot \left(1 - 0.47\,\frac{\Phi(\Gamma)}{S_{26}^{(3)}}\right)$$

where:
- $\Phi(\Gamma) = \cos(\omega_{\text{SCm}} \cdot t) \cdot \Theta(H_{\text{SCm}} - 0.5)$ is the phonon modulation factor
- $\omega_{\text{SCm}} = 2\pi \times 1.25\;\text{THz}$ is the SCm phonon resonance frequency
- $S_{26}^{(3)} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(1/4)_n\,(1/2)_n\,(3/4)_n}{(n!)^3} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^{26}\left[1 + [\text{SSq}]\cdot e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}\right]$ is the third-order Ramanujan summation
- $\Theta$ is the Heaviside step ensuring $H_{\text{SCm}} \geq 0.5$ (phase-transition threshold)

**Domain application:** Stable SCS from electroweak axion strings contribute to the stochastic GW background; [SCm] stabilisation modifies the GW spectrum.

**Calibration (canonical):** $\kappa = 5 \times 10^{-4}\;\text{day}^{-1}$,
$[\text{SSq}] = 0.57$, $\beta_i = 0.603$, $H_{\text{SCm}} \approx 0.99$.

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: UQFF 9-Sector Lagrangian

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1066 (UQFF Lagrangian First Principles) and
> PAPER_1065 (Buoyancy Lagrangian EOM Variational Derivation).*

The complete UQFF Lagrangian density, from which all sector-specific
equations of motion derive:

$$\mathcal{L}_{\text{UQFF}} = \mathcal{L}_{\text{GR}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{SCm}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{phonon}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{interaction}}$$

$$\mathcal{L}_{\text{SCm}} = \tfrac{1}{2}(\partial_\mu \phi)^2 - \lambda\bigl(\phi^2 - v_{\text{SCm}}^2\bigr)^2$$

The SCm condensate potential minimum gives $V(\phi_0) = -7.09 \times 10^{-37}\;\text{J/m}^3$
(matching $\rho_{\text{SCm}}$) and phonon mass $m_{\text{phonon}} = \sqrt{8\lambda}\,v_{\text{SCm}}$.

**Nine-sector closure (Session 202):**
$$\mathcal{L}_{9} = \mathcal{L}_{\text{EH}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{YM}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{Dirac}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{SCm}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{mag}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{buoy}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{aether}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{LENR}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{KK}}$$

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: S26(3) Ramanujan Summation

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1080 (Ramanujan Binomial Expansion Proof) and
> PAPER_1042 (Mock-Theta Phonon Partition).  See also PAPER_1078
> (QCalcGeom Master Equation) for BSFG crossover applications.*

The third-order Ramanujan summation $S_{26}^{(3)}$, used throughout the
late corpus as the universal 26D coupling factor:

$$S_{26}^{(3)} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(1/4)_n\,(1/2)_n\,(3/4)_n}{(n!)^3} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^{26}\left[1 + [\text{SSq}]\cdot e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}\right]$$

where $(a)_n = a(a+1)\cdot s(a+n-1)$ is the Pochhammer symbol.

**Binomial expansion (PAPER_1080):** The convergence proof shows:
$$R_n^{(26,3)} = \binom{4n}{n} \cdot \frac{W_{26}(n)}{(4^{4n})} \qquad \text{with}\quad W_{26}(n) = \prod_{i=1}^{26}\left[1 + [\text{SSq}]\cdot e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}\right]$$

This sum converges absolutely for $|[\text{SSq}]| < 1$ (satisfied by $[\text{SSq}] = 0.57$)
and reduces to the classical Ramanujan $1/\pi$ series when $[\text{SSq}] \to 0$.

**VDS/DVP/BSH bridge (PAPER_1069):** The 26 layers of $W_{26}(n)$ encode the
vacuum density series hierarchy, with each layer $i$ contributing a VDS
sub-ratio weighted by the exponential decay $e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}$.

**Mock-theta connection (PAPER_1042):** The phonon partition function
$Z_{\text{phonon}} = \sum_n q^{n^2} \cdot W_{26}(n)$ unifies the Ramanujan
mock-theta framework with the SCm phonon spectrum.

## Supplementary Derivations (Polylogarithmic / VDS)

*Merged from companion derivation file. Canonical UQFF constants: kappa=5.0e-4/day, [SSq]=0.57, beta\_i=0.603, rho\_SCm=7.09e-37 J/m3.*

## 1. Peccei-Quinn Potential in SCm Vacuum


The PQ potential augmented by SCm vacuum:

$$V_{\text{PQ+SCm}}(\Phi) = \lambda \left(|\Phi|^2 - f_a^2/2\right)^2 + \rho_{\text{vac,SCm}} \cdot S_{26}^{(3)} \cdot \Phi_{\text{res}} \cdot \cos(\pi t_n) \cdot |\Phi|^2$$

where $f_a$ is the PQ symmetry breaking scale, $\lambda$ is the self-coupling, and the second term provides the SCm vacuum correction.

The axion mass from the SCm-corrected potential:

$$m_a^2 = \frac{m_u m_d}{(m_u + m_d)^2} \cdot \frac{m_\pi^2 f_\pi^2}{f_a^2} + \frac{\rho_{\text{vac,SCm}} \cdot S_{26}^{(3)}}{f_a^2}$$

---

## 2. Cosmic String Tension from SCm Buoyancy


The cosmic string tension $\mu$ stabilized by $F_{U,Bi,i}$:

$$\mu_{\text{SCm}} = \pi f_a^2 \left(1 + \beta_i \cdot \frac{F_{U,Bi,i}}{f_a^4 c^4}\right) \cdot \cos^2(\pi t_n)$$

with $\beta_i = 0.6$, $F_{TRZ} = 0.1$. The buoyancy term prevents string collapse and fixes the string loop distribution.

---

## 3. SCS-Axion Coupling


The SCS field $\phi_{\text{SCS}}$ couples to the axion via the SCm phonon:

$$\mathcal{L}_{\text{SCS-axion}} = \frac{g_{\text{SCS-a}}}{f_a} \partial_\mu a \, \partial^\mu \phi_{\text{SCS}} + \frac{E_{\text{phonon}} \cdot S_{26}^{(3)}}{f_a^2} a^2 |\phi_{\text{SCS}}|^2$$

where $g_{\text{SCS-a}} = \beta_i \cdot \Phi_{\text{res}} = 0.6 \times 0.84 = 0.504$.

---

## 4. VDS Axion Potential


The 26D vacuum density series modifies the periodic axion potential:

$$V_a(\theta) = -m_a^2 f_a^2 \cos(\theta) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{\text{VDS}([SSq])}{S_{26}^{(3)}}\right)$$

where $\theta = a/f_a$ is the axion phase. The VDS correction is of order $\text{Li}_{26}(0.57) / S_{26}^{(3)} \approx 10^{-26}$, negligible for cosmological purposes but important for string lattice calculations.
