Abstract

Differential properties of a spin 2 boson field ψμν\psi_{\mu\nu} 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: Δ=2π(11/n)\Delta=2\pi (1-1/n) , n=1,2,...n=1,2,.... A relationship between smoothness of ψμν\psi_{\mu\nu} 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 ψμν\psi_{\mu\nu} at the singularity plays an equivalent role to the Aliev and Gal'tsov "quantization" condition.
