Quantum Effects in the Spacetime of a Magnetic Flux Cosmic String

Abstract

In this work we compute the vacuum expectation values of the energy-momentum tensor and the average value of a massive, charged scalar field in the presence of a magnetic flux cosmic string for both zero- and finite-temperature cases.
