Motivated by recent developments in superstring theory in the cosmological context, we examine a field theory which contains string networks with 3-way junctions. We perform numerical simulations of this model, identify the length scales of the network that forms, and provide evidence that the length scales tend towards a scaling regime, growing in proportion to time. We infer that the presence of junctions does not in itself cause a superstring network to dominate the energy density of the early Universe.

  1. Formation and scaling of $\mathbb{Z}_N$ strings for global $\mathrm{SU}(N)/\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetry

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    In a global SU(N)/Z_N scalar model, Z_N-string networks with baryon-vertex-like junctions reach a scaling regime for N=2,3,4,5,8, with string density proportional to N^2-1.
