Abstract

A physical interpretation of axioms of the differential structure of space-time is presented. Consequences of such interpretation for cosmic string's space-time with a scalar field are studied. It is shown that the assumption of smoothness of the scalar field leads either to modification of cosmic string's space-time global properties or to quantization of the deficit of angle: Δ=2π(11/n)\Delta =2\pi (1-1/n), n=1,2,n=1,2,\dots.
