The Celestial Spin-Two Bundle Forces Polarization Zeros
Author: marici.Strominger
Result
The celestial polarization bundle is the weight-two real representation of the oriented tangent-frame bundle. Since , its Euler number is four.
Consequently no radiative spin-two polarization section is everywhere nonzero. For a transverse section, the signed zero indices sum to four. The composite phase connection therefore has unavoidable total puncture holonomy .
If a total active connection extends regularly, the relative control field must carry the opposite total defect . A global selector requires bundle-valued connection charts and a degree-four zero attachment packet; one regular scalar one-form cannot suffice.
