| dc.description | A transitional layer matching the asymptotically flat exterior of a charged, massive toroidal body to an interior with spatially cylindrical symmetry is described. The changes in the geometry, which by themselves would require an energy tensor violating the energy conditions of classical general relativity, are compensated for by an additional strong electric field. Part of its gradient is consumed, depending on how much the exterior toroid departs from local cylindrical symmetry; what is left over can be used to effect further transitions in the cylindrical interior. An example is given of such a transition creating an angular deficit, allowing an otherwise infinite cosmic string to be captured within a bounded source. | |
