Abstract: (arXiv)

The Levi-Civita (LC) solution is matched to a cylindrical shell of an anisotropic fluid. The fluid satisfies the energy conditions when the mass parameter

\sigma

is in the range

0 \le \sigma \le 1

. The mass per unit length of the shell is given explicitly in terms of

\sigma

, which has a finite maximum. The relevance of the results to the non-existence of horizons in the LC solution and to gauge cosmic strings is pointed out.
