The Toulouse–Kleman homotopic classification of topological defects in ordered systems illustrated by experiments

Classification of defects in ordered systems, based on the homotopy theory, conceived by Gérard Toulouse and Maurice Kléman has a very wide range of applications. We illustrate its modus operandi with three experimental examples. We deal first with dislocations in a dissipative periodic pattern of c...
