VACUUM POLARIZATION IN THE SPACE–TIME OF A SCALAR–TENSOR COSMIC STRING
We study the vacuum polarization effect in the space–time generated by a magnetic flux cosmic string in the framework of a scalar–tensor theory of gravity. The vacuum expectation values of the energy–momentum tensor of a conformally coupled scalar field are calculated and the dilaton's contribution to the vacuum polarization effect …
