In recent past, W. A. Hiscock [Phys. Lett. B 188 (1987) 317] studied the semi-classical gravitational effects near cosmic strings. He obtained the vacuum expectation value of the stress-energy tensor of an arbitrary collection of conformal massless free-quantum fields (scalar, spinor and vectors) in the presence of a static, cylindrically symmetric cosmic string. With this stress-energy tensor, we study the semi-classical gravitational effects of a cosmic string in the context of Lyra geometry.
