The recent observations by pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments suggest the existence of stochastic gravitational wave background in the nano-Hz range. It can be a hint for the new physics and cosmic string is one of the promising candidate. In this paper, we study the implication of the PTA result for cosmic strings and dark photon dark matter produced by the decay of cosmic string loops. It can simultaneously explain the PTA result and present dark matter abundance for the dark photon mass m~10^{-6}--10^{-4}eV. Implications for the gravitational wave detection with multi-frequency bands are also discussed.

  1. Nambu-Goldstone emissions from the cosmological evolution of global monopoles

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    First quantitative lattice measurement of NG boson emission from global monopoles: the spectrum peaks at the Hubble scale, the number density grows linearly with H, and the resulting pseudo-NG bosons can be dark matter.

  2. Multimodal axion emissions from Abelian-Higgs cosmic strings

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Lattice simulations of Abelian-Higgs cosmic strings with axion-gauge coupling show multimodal axion production that can account for GeV-scale dark matter while predicting observable dark radiation.

  3. Constraints on the inflationary vacuum and reheating era from NANOGrav

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    NANOGrav data favors a blue-tilted tensor spectrum with nt ≈ 2.2, radiation-dominated reheating, and alpha-vacuum states over standard Bunch-Davies, with a frequency-dependent alpha suggested to resolve the blue-tilt tension.
