  In this paper we investigate the quantum Brownian motion of a massive scalar
point particle induced by the FRW spacetime in the presence of a linear
topological defect named cosmic string. In addition, we also consider a flat
boundary orthogonal to the defect to analyse its effect on the particle's
motion. For both cases we found exact expressions for the renormalized mean
square deviation of the particle velocity, the quantity that measures the
induced Brownian motion, and obtain asymptotic expressions when the point
particle is near and far away from the cosmic string and the boundary.
Furthermore, in both cases, there appears divergencies in the mean square
deviation of the particle velocity coming from a time interval that correspond
to a round trip of the massive point particle between its position and the
cosmic string/flat boundary. The number of divergencies depends upon the radial
position of the particle and the parameter associated with the cosmic string in
the case without boundary, and upon this parameter and the radial and $z$
positions of the particle in the case with boundary.
