Gravitational Conical Bremsstrahlung and Differential Structures
Abstract
Differential properties of a spin 2 boson field describing propagation of gravitational perturbations on a straight cosmic string's space-time background are studied by means of methods of the differential spaces theory. It is shown that this field is a smooth one in the interior of cosmic string's space-time and looses this property at the singular boundary except for cosmic string space-times with the following deficits of angle: , . A relationship between smoothness of at the singularity and the gravitational conical bremsstrahlung effect is discussed. A physical interpretation of the smoothness notion is given. It is also argued that the assumption of smoothness of at the singularity plays an equivalent role to the Aliev and Gal'tsov "quantization" condition.
