``Hot jupiters,'' giant planets with orbits very close to their parent
stars, are thought to most plausibly form at large orbital distances
and then migrate inward via interactions with the gaseous
protoplanetary disk. If a giant planet forms and migrates inward with
sufficient rapidity, then terrestrial planets may form in the
system. We present results of simulations of terrestrial planet
formation in the presence of hot jupiters, broadly defined as having
orbital radii within 0.5 AU of the parent star. We show that
terrestrial planets similar to those in the Solar System can form
around stars with hot jupiters, and can have water contents equal to
or higher than the Earth's. For small orbital radii of hot jupiters
(e.g. 0.15, 0.25 AU) potentially habitable planets can form, but for
semi-major axes of 0.5 AU or greater their formation is suppressed. We
show that the presence of a giant planet external to the terrestrial
planet zone does not necessarily enhance the water content of the
terrestrial planets, but does descrease both their formation and water
delivery timescales. We speculate that asteroid belts may exist
interior to the terrestrial planets in systems with hot jupiters.
