Modern string theory provides a rich array of objects which could potentially appear as cosmic strings in our observable four-dimensional universe. However, there are many possible decay modes which would prevent the appearance of such strings. We investigate the conditions under which metastable strings can exist, and we find that such strings are present in many models. Hence cosmic strings give a potentially large window into string physics. (C) 2004 Academie des sciences. Published by Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
