Phys. Rev. Lett. 75, 3382–3385 (1995)Pair Production of Black Holes on Cosmic StringsReceived 14 June 1995; revised 29 June 1995; published in the issue dated 6 November 1995 We discuss the pair creation of black holes by the breaking of a cosmic string. We obtain an instanton describing this process from the C metric, and calculate its probability. This is very low for the strings that have been suggested for galaxy formation. © 1995 The American Physical Society URL:
