Abstract
We study the effects of wiggles on cosmic strings on the formation of structure in the early universe. This effect comes through an increased attraction of the matter by the string due to the wiggles and due to the breakup of the sheets of matter produced by the string due to the gravitational effects of such wiggles. We also begin an analysis of the gravitational radiation from strings due to the collision of such wiggles.
