36. Conclusion Cosmic string induces current and magnetic field in the vacuum The magnetic field strength is directed along a cosmic string where where m H is the mass of the string-forming Higgs field. is the gauge flux, is the coupling constant of the quantized field with the 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 shell is
