On the quantization of Burgers vector and gravitational energy in the space-time of a conical defect

Abstract A conical topological defect is the result of translational and/or rotational deformations of spacetime, in particular the Burgers vector describes the translational deformation. Such a configuration represents a discontinuity, that cannot be removed by coordinate transformations, and is re...
