Semilocal Topological Defects [PDF]

Nuclear Physics B, 1992
Semilocal defects are those formed in field theories with spontaneously broken symmetries, where the vacuum manifold $M$ is fibred by the action of the gauge group in a non-trivial way.

Soft-Matter Physics Provides New Insights on Myocardial Architecture: Automatic and Quantitative Identification of Topological Defects in the Trabecular Myocardium [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
This article is the third in our series dedicated to the analysis of cardiac myoarchitecture as a nematic chiral liquid crystal (NCLC). Previously, we introduced the concept of topological defects (disclinations) and focused on their visual ...

Topological Defects and Cosmology [PDF]

Pramana, 1998
Many particle physics models of matter admit solutions corresponding to stable or long-lived topological defects. In the context of standard cosmology it is then unavoidable that such defects will form during phase transitions in the very early Universe.

Curvature-Controlled Topological Defects [PDF]

Crystals, 2017
Effectively, two-dimensional (2D) closed films exhibiting in-plane orientational ordering (ordered shells) might be instrumental for the realization of scaled crystals. In them, ordered shells are expected to play the role of atoms.

Extended topological group structure due to average reflection symmetry [PDF]

New Journal of Physics, 2015
We extend the single-particle topological classification of insulators and superconductors to include systems in which disorder preserves average reflection symmetry.

Experimental identification of topological defects in 2D colloidal glass [PDF]

Nature Communications
Topological defects are singularities within a field that cannot be removed by continuous transformations. The definition of these irregularities requires an ordered reference configuration, calling into question whether they exist in disordered ...

Hedgehog topological defects in 3D amorphous solids [PDF]

Nature Communications
The underlying structural disorder renders the concept of topological defects in amorphous solids difficult to apply and hinders a first-principle identification of the microscopic carriers of plasticity and of regions prone to structural rearrangements (

Resonant Production of Topological Defects [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 1999
We describe a novel phenomenon in which vortices are produced due to resonant oscillations of a scalar field which is driven by a periodically varying temperature T, with T remaining much below the critical temperature $T_c$.
