Topology of vibrational modes predicts plastic events in glasses
Nature Communications, 2023 The plastic deformation of crystalline materials can be understood by considering their structural defects such as disclinations and dislocations. Although also glasses are solids, their structure resembles closely the one of a liquid and hence the ...

A cosmological model for corrugated graphene sheets
, 2006 Defects play a key role in the electronic structure of graphene layers flat or curved. Topological defects in which an hexagon is replaced by an n-sided polygon generate long range interactions that make them different from vacancies or other potential ...

Revisiting thermodynamic topologies of black holes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 In the generalized off-shell free energy landscape, black holes can be treated as thermodynamic topological defects. The local topological properties of the spacetime can be reflected by the winding numbers at the defects, while the global topological ...

Yang monopoles and emergent three-dimensional topological defects in interacting bosons
, 2018 Yang monopole as a zero-dimensional topological defect has been well established in multiple fields in physics. However, it remains an intriguing question to understand interaction effects on Yang monopoles.

Topology of Three-Dimensional Active Nematic Turbulence Confined to Droplets
Physical Review X, 2019 Active nematics contain topological defects that (under sufficient activity) move, create, and annihilate in a chaotic quasi-steady state, called active turbulence.

Topological Defects in Spherical Nematics [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 We study the organization of topological defects in a system of nematogens confined to the two-dimensional sphere (S^2). We first perform Monte Carlo simulations of a fluid system of hard rods (spherocylinders) living in the tangent plane of S^2. The sphere is adiabatically compressed until we reach a jammed nematic state with maximum packing density ...

Topological defects in K3 sigma models
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe consider the topological defect lines commuting with the spectral flow and the N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (4, 4) superconformal symmetry in two dimensional non-linear sigma models on K3.

Complementary projection defects and decomposition
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 As put forward in [1] topological quantum field theories can be projected using so-called projection defects. The projected theory and its correlation functions can be completely realized within the unprojected one.
