Abstract.
In this paper we prove existence and precise decay estimates at infinity of solutions to the Bogomol’nyi system of the static Einstein equations coupled with the Maxwell-Higgs fields with translational symmetry in one direction. The equations model cosmic strings(or superconducting strings) in equilibrium state. The Higgs fields of our solutions, in particular, tend to the symmetric vacuum at infinity. The construction of our solution is by the perturbation type of argument combined with the implicit function theorem.
