Abstract
A class of new exact solutions of the Einstein field equations have been investigated for stationary cylindrically symmetric space-time around a local cosmic string in the theory based on Lyra’s geometry in normal gauge in the presence and absence of an electromagnetic field. The cosmological solutions have been analyzed through various physical and geometrical parameters. It has also been shown that the solutions are space-time inhomogeneous and filled with charged dust.
