Abstract
Loop variables are used to describe the presence of topological defects in spacetime. In particular we study the dependence of the holonomy transformation on angular momentum and torsion for a multi-chiral cone. We also compute the holonomies for multiple moving crossed cosmic strings and two plane topological defects-crossed by a cosmic string.
