title = "Finite-width corrections to the Nambu action for the Nielsen-Olesen string",
abstract = "The finite-width correction terms to the Nambu action for Nielsen-Olesen strings are calculated. They consist of an extrinsic curvature squared or rigidity term and a new {"}twist{"} term. The extrinsic curvature term prevents cusps forming, rounding them off with a curvature radius of the order of the string width.",
