Letter: Delta-String—A Hybrid Between Wormhole and String

Abstract

The flux tube solutions in 5D Kaluza-Klein theory can be considered as a string-like object - $\Delta-$string. The initial 5D metric can be reduced to some inner degrees of freedom living on the $\Delta-$string. The propagation of electromagnetic waves through the $\Delta-$string is considered. It is shown that the difference between $\Delta$ and ordinary strings are connected with the fact that for the $\Delta-$string such limitations as critical dimensions are missing.
