  • 1. Department of Physics, Eastern Mediterranean University, Gazimag̃usa, Turkey

Description

A real-valued triplet of scalar fields as a source gives rise to a metric which tilts the scalar, not the light cone, in 2+1 dimensions. The topological metric is static, regular, and it is characterized by an integer κ=±1,±2,… The problem is formulated as a harmonic map of Riemannian manifolds in which the integer κ equals the degree of the map.
