    Abstract

    The metric around a wiggly cosmic string is calculated in the linear approximation of Brans–Dicke theory of gravitation. The equations of motion for relativistic and nonrelativistic particles in this metric are obtained. Light propagation is also studied and it is shown that photon trajectories can be bounded.
