We study the vacuum polarization effect in the space–time generated by a magnetic flux cosmic string in the framework of a scalar–tensor theory of gravity. The vacuum expectation values of the energy–momentum tensor of a conformally coupled scalar field are calculated and the dilaton's contribution to the vacuum polarization effect is shown.

In this work we study a general scalar-tensor theory in which the coupling and potential functions are determined from Noether symmetry arguments. We also obtain exact solutions of the field equations and found that the universe asymptotically follows an exponential expansion having no graceful exit. The study of the functional form of ω(φ) reveals that the theory asymptotically becomes an attractor of general relativity. We restrict ourselves to spatially homogeneous, isotropic flat universe.
