Abstract: We show that for a extbf{multiple-connected} space the low energy strain fields excitations are given by instantons. Dirac fermions with a chiral mass and a pairing field propagates effectively in a multiple conected space. When the elastic strain field response is probed one finds that it is given by the extbf{Pointriagin} characteristic. As a result the space time metric is modified. Applying an external stress field we observe that the phonon path bends in the transverse direction to the initial direction.
