Abstract

In this paper we found an Exact solution for massless scalar field with cosmological constant. This exact solution generalized the Levi-Civita vacuum solution Levi-Civita (Rend. Acc. Lincei 27:183, 1917) to a massless scalar field, with a cosmological constant term.This solution in the absence of the Cosmological constant recovers the spacetime of a massless scalar field with cylindrical symmetry (Buchdahl metric (Buchdahl in Phys. Rev. 115:1325, 1959)). Also if the scalar field disappears, the spacetime will be a representation of de-Sitter space.We prove that the form of the metric’s function which was purposed in Momeni and Miraghaei (Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 24(31):5991, 2009) is valid even if we assume a general form. Furthermore we show that in which conditions this solution satisfies energy conditions. Finally the credibility of focusing theorem is proved.
