Notes:
The massless wave equation on a class of two-dimensional manifolds consisting of an arbitrary number of topological cylinders connected to one or more topological spheres are analyzed herein. Such manifolds are endowed with a degenerate (nonglobally hyperbolic) metric. Attention is drawn to the topological constraints on solutions describing monochromatic modes on both compact and noncompact manifolds. Energy and momentum currents are constructed and a new global sum rule discussed. The results offer a rigorous background for the formulation of a field theory of topologically induced particle production. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
