Cylindrically-Symmetric Solutions in Conformal Gravity

Understand

Cylindrically-symmetric solutions in Conformal Gravity are investigated and several new solutions are presented and discussed.

• Among them, a family of vacuum solutions, generalizations of the Melvin solution and cosmic strings of the Abelian Higgs model.
• The Melvin-like solutions have finite energy per unit length, while the string-like solutions do not.
