Abstract: (APS)
The Einstein equations coupled with a cloud of geometric strings for a five-dimensional Bianchi type-I cosmological model are studied. The cosmological consequences of having strings along the fifth dimension are examined. Particular solutions with dynamical compactifications of the extra dimensions and compatibility with expanding three-dimensional spaces are presented.
