摘要
We study static cylindrically symmetric vacuum solutions in Weyl coordinates in the context of the metric f(R) theories of gravity. The set of the modified Einstein equations is reduced to a single equation and it is shown how one can construct exact solutions corresponding to different f(R) models. In particular the family of solutions with constant Ricci scalar (R = R-0) is found explicitly which, as a special case (R = 0), includes the exterior spacetime of a cosmic string. Another new solution with constant, non-zero Ricci scalar is obtained and its possible relation to the Linet-Tian solution in general relativity is discussed. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
