Abstract

We use various results concerning isometry groups of Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian manifolds to prove that there are spaces on which differential structure can act as a source of gravitational force (Brans conjecture). The result is important for the analysis of the possible physical meaning of differential calculus. Possible astrophysical consequences are discussed.
