In this paper we present well-posedness results for H 1 solutions of the wave equation for spacetimes that contain string-like singularities. These results extend a framework in which one characterises gravitational singularities as obstruction to the dynamics of test fields rather than point particles. In particular, we discuss spacetimes with cosmic strings.
