Notes:
The space–time disclination is studied by making use of the decomposition theory of gauge potential in terms of the antisymmetric tensor field and φ-mapping method. It is shown that the self-dual and anti-self-dual parts of the curvature compose the space–time disclinations which are classified in terms of topological invariants—winding number. The projection of space–time disclination density along an antisymmetric tensor field is quantized topologically and characterized by Brouwer degree and Hopf index. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
