Abstract
A recent investigation shows that a local gauge string with a phenomenological energy momentum tensor, as prescribed by Vilenkin, is inconsistent in Brans-Dicke theory. In this work it has been shown that such a string is consistent in a more general scalar tensor theory where is function of the scalar field.A set of solutions of full nonlinear Einstein's equations for interior region of such a string are presented.
