2. The main results It was elaborated the method of searching for cosmic strings based on analysis of the CMB anisotropy; Moving straight cosmic string was shown to generate distinctive structures of enhanced and reduced temperature fluctuations on the surface of last scattering; It was analized the conditions under which a cosmic string could be detected by both CMB anisotropy and gravitational lensing.

7. The cosmic string status in modern theoretical cosmology Among all possible types of topological defects, cosmic strings are particulary interesting and their existence finds support in superstring theories, both in compactification models and in theories with extended additional dimensions; From theoretical point of view for cosmic strings it is available the large mass range: from the GUT to electroweak energies.

9. The energy scale for cosmic strings is the scale of GUT or less The energy scale for fundamental strings is Planck scale cosmic strings fundamental strings of superstring theory

10. Such heavy strings do not exist in our Universe today, and cannot have played any role in cosmological evolution except in the first few Planck times cosmic strings fundamental strings of superstring theory

11. Now we know models with large compact dimensions, in which the string scale may be much lower, down to the GUT scale or even less. cosmic strings fundamental strings of superstring theory Branes, which now play key role in superstring theory, can collide and generate cosmic strings. cosmic strings branes

12. The cosmic string status in modern observational cosmology The current CMBR data exclude cosmic strings as source of primordial density perturbations. The data give the upper bound on the mass of cosmic strings but do not forbid their existence. The methods were oriented to search string networks only, not individual strings as we now proposed.

33. The low observational limit due the available resolution (Hubble Space Telescope) in optical searching of gravitational lensing events of galaxies by cosmic strings. “Superlight” strings could exist but can not be detected. The upper bound on string deficit angle. The induced anisotropy (amplitude of spot) is compared with anisotropy due adiabatic fluctuations and could be detected.

34. Why strings with deficit angle more than 10” does not exist? Because we do not observe such structures.

37. Main conclusions We found the structure of the CMB anisotropy generated on a cosmic string for simple model of straight string moving with constant velocity; The number of strings that could be detected by optical method is only 20%, therefore the gravitational lensing method has to be “completed” by CMB one; For strings with deficit angle 1-2 arcsec the amplitude of generated anisotropy has to be 15-30 microK (the corresponding string linear density is and energy is GUT one, ); To use both radio and optical methods the deficit angle has to be from 0.1 arcsec to 5-6 arcsec. If cosmic string could be detected by optical method, the hight of corresponding brightness spot of anisotropy has to be no less than 100°.
