| Abstract: | A scalar field generalization of Xanthopoulos's cylindrically symmetric solutions of the vacuum-Einstein equations is obtained. The obtained solution preserves the properties of the Xanthopoulos solution, which are regular on the axis, asymptotically flat, and free from the curvature singularities. The solution describes a stable, rotating cosmic string of infinite length interacting with gravitational and scalar waves. |
