A topological metric in 2+1-dimensions

General Physics 2015-06-09 v2

Abstract

Real-valued triplet of scalar fields as source gives rise to a metric which tilts the scalar, not the light cone, in 2+1-dimensions. The topological metric is static, regular and it is characterized by an integer κ=±1,±2,...\kappa =\pm 1,\pm 2,.... The problem is formulated as a harmonic map of Riemannian manifolds in which the integer κ\kappa equals to the degree of the map.
