Abstract
We perform a detailed comparison of the dynamics of cosmic stringloops obtained in cosmological field theory simulations with their expected motion according to theNambu-Goto action. We demonstrate that these loops follow thetrajectories predicted within the NG effective theory except in regionsof high curvature where energy is emitted from the loop in the form of massiveradiation. This energy loss continues for all the loopsstudied in this simulation until they self-intersect or become small enough that they annihilateand disappear well before they complete a single oscillation. We comment on the relevance of thisinvestigation to the interpretation of the results from cosmological field theory simulationsas well as their extrapolation to a cosmological context.
