Abstract
- Dislocations in crystalline solids are rather simple examples of topological singularities: The symmetry of translation is broken along a line, and the Burgers vectors of merging dislocations add up linearly; on the other hand, they are complex physical objects, whose most important properties relate to irreversible phenomena that attend plastic deformation.
