We study, within the Nambu-Goto approximation, the stability of massive string junctions under the influence of the tensions of three strings joining together in a Y-type configuration. The relative angle β between the strings at the junction is in g... Read More about Zipping and unzipping in string networks: dynamics of Y-junctions.
