Abstract
We consider the conical space–time generated by a cosmic string and compute its Riemannian curvature by analyzing the geometry of a foliation t= const , z= const . We show that the problem is then reduced to the calculation of the Gaussian curvature K of a bidimensional cone. Through two simple geometrical examples we give a prescription for obtaining K.
