Quantum Mechanics and Applications

We present cylindrically symmetric, static solutions of the Einstein field equations around a line singularity such that the energy momentum tensor corresponds to infinitely thin photonic shells. Positivity of the energy density of the thin shell and the line singularity is discussed. It is also shown that thick shells containing mostly radiation are possible in a numerical solution.
