General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the space-time with a conical singularity, which describes a thin cosmic string, is hyperbolic in the sense that a unique H^1 solution exists to the initial value problem for the wave equation with a certain class of initial data.
