Abstract
The vacuum average of the energy density of a free, massless scalar field around a conical flux-tube singularity in d+1 space-time dimensions is calculated. A complex contour method is employed and the results involve higher-order Bernoulli polynomials. The formulas might have applications to cosmic strings.Keywords
