Abstract

We first analyse the motion of test particles around cosmic strings connected to black holes. We study both the geodesic equations and the Hamilton - Jacobi formalism to determine the trajectories. We have also discussed the FRW cosmological model containing a cosmic string and finally the behaviour of particles in the gravitational field of a domain wall crossed by cosmic strings. In most of the cases we show that the particles cannot be trapped by the cosmic strings.
