Phys. Rev. D 41, 3041–3046 (1990)Cosmic strings in general relativityReceived 6 October 1989; published in the issue dated 15 May 1990 This paper makes a survey of the study of gravitational fields of cosmic strings of different types. The Hiscock-Gott metric is given a new interpretation, the occurrence of a singularity in the case of global strings is explored, and the inadmissibility of the angle-deficit idea in some cases is pointed out. © 1990 The American Physical Society URL:
