Abstract: We consider static, cylindrically symmetric configurations in general relativity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) with an arbitrary gauge-invariant Lagrangian of the form $L_{em}=Phi(F)$, $F=F_{mn}{F}^{mn}$. We study electric and magnetic fields with three possible orientations: radial (R), longitudinal (L) and azimuthal (A), and try to find solitonic stringlike solutions, having a regular axis and a flat metric at large $r$, with a possible angular defect. Assuming the function $Phi(F)$ to be regular at small $F$, it is shown that a regular axis is impossible in R-fields if there is a nonzero effective electric charge and in A-fields if there is a nonzero effective electric current along the axis. Solitonic solutions are only possible for purely magnetic R-fields and purely electric A-fields, in cases when $Phi(F)$ tends to a finite limit at large $F$. For both R- and A-fields, the desired large $r$ asymptotic is only possible with a non- Maxwell behaviour of $Phi(F)$ at small $F$. For L-fields, solutions with a regular axis are easily obtained (and can be found by quadratures) whereas a desired large $r$ asymptotic is only possible in an exceptional solution; the latter gives rise to solitonic configurations in case $Phi(F)=constcdotsqrtF$. We give an explicit example of such a solution.

Review text

In recent times the subject of cosmic strings has reached great importance in the study of cosmology. Self-gravitating strings from the point of view of nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) form an interesting area of investigation. There are also many fascinating modern ideas connected with the same. Here the authors discuss the cosmic strings with an arbitrary gauge-invariant Lagrangian, \(\Phi(F)\), \(F=F_{\mu\nu} F^{\mu\nu}\). Field equations with regularity conditions, radial electro-magnetic fields, azimuthal e.m. fields and the longitudinal e.m. fields are dealt with in detail in separate sections. The final sixth section is on concluding remarks including the emphasis that in the nonlinear theory there is a clear manifestation of the absence of electro-magnetic duality, that is so vital in the Maxwell's theory. On the whole, the consideration of the static cylindrically symmetric NED -- Einstein equations with arbitrary gauge-invariant NED -- Lagrangian \(\Phi(F)\), has led to very useful insights into the all-important, current active topic of the cosmic strings.
