Non static local string in Brans-Dicke theory

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-25 v1

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 indeed consistent if one introduces time dependences in the metric. A set of solutions of full nonlinear Einstein's equations for the interior region of such a string are presented.
