Abstract
We examine the metric of an isolated self-gravitating abelian-Higgs vortex in dilatonic gravity for arbitrary coupling of the vortex fields to the dilaton. We look for solutions in both massless and massive dilaton gravity. We compare our results to existing metrics for strings in Einstein and Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory. We explore the generalization of Bogomolnyi arguments for our vortices and comment on the effects on test particles.
