Abstract

We consider the matter of global textures withinthe frameworks of a perfect fluid model in generalrelativity. We examine thermodynamical properties oftexture matter in comparison with radiation fluid and bubble matter. Then we study dynamics ofthin-wall selfgravitating texture objects, and show thatclassical motion can be elliptical (finite), parabolicalor hyperbolical. It is shown that total gravitational mass of neutral textures in equilibrium equalszero, as was expected. Finally, we carry out theWheeler-DeWitt minisuperspace quantization of thetheory, obtain exact wave functions and discrete spectra of bound states with provision for spatialtopology.
