Abstract
Spacetimes with everywhere vanishing curvature tenser, but with torsio
n different from zero only on world sheets that represent closed loops
in ordinary space are presented, also defects along open curves with
end points at infinity are studied. The case of defects along timelike
loops is also considered and the geodesics in these spaces are briefl
y discussed.
