Dislocations and fibrations: the topological structure of knotted defects in smectic liquid crystals
In this work, we investigate the topological properties of knotted defects in smectic liquid crystals. Our story begins with screw dislocations, whose radial surface structure can be smoothly accommodated on S ^3 for fibred knots by using the corresponding knot fibration. To understand how a smectic...
