Soft matter physics

the classification of stable defects in ordered media such as liquid crystals and superfluids by homotopy groups of the order-parameter space.

In soft matter physics, topological theory of defects refers to the classification of stable defects in ordered media such as liquid crystals and superfluids by homotopy groups of the order-parameter space. This meaning comes from Mermin (1979) in Reviews of Modern Physics.[1]
