Abstract

We consider the influence of space curvature in the Schwarzschild metric on the contribution of the magnetic field outside the neutron star to the moment of inertia of a radio pulsar. Our consideration
is restricted only to the simplest configuration of the magnetic field, when it can be described by only one harmonic. We show that at a fixed magnetic field strength on the stellar surface the influence of space curvature reduces the contribution of the magnetic field outside the star to the departure of the inertia tensor from the spherical one several-fold.
