•Cosmic string induces current and magnetic field in the vacuum
The magnetic field strength is directed along a cosmic string

string-forming gauge field, is the mass of the quantized field, is its electric
charge. Thus, owing to the vacuum polarization by a cosmic string, the latter is
dressed in a shell of the force lines of the magnetic field. The flux of the magnetic
