Comment on "Formation of primordial black holes by cosmic strings"
Abstract
We show that in a pioneering paper by Polnarev and Zembowicz, some conclusions concerning the characteristics of the Turok-strings are generally not correct. In addition we show that the probability of string collapse given there, is off by a large prefactor (~1000).
