Topological Defects in Gravitational Lensing Shear Fields
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the topological defects in shear fields in terms of the curvature of the surface described by the lensing potential and show how statistical properties such as the abundance of defects can be expressed by the correlation function of the potential.

Saddle-splay screening and chiral symmetry breaking in toroidal nematics
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical study of toroidal geometries with degenerate planar boundary conditions was performed, and spontaneous chirality was found to be present in the Dirichlet fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localizing softness and stress along loops in 3D topological metamaterials
Guido Baardink,Anton Souslov,Anton Souslov,Jayson Paulose,Jayson Paulose,Vincenzo Vitelli,Vincenzo Vitelli +6 more
TL;DR: The design of a 3D topological metamaterial without Weyl lines and with a uniform polarization that leads to an asymmetry between the number of soft modes on opposing surfaces is reported, suggesting a strategy for preprogramming failure and softness localized along lines in 3D, while avoiding extended soft Weyl modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topological soft matter: Kagome lattices with a twist.
TL;DR: The elastic response of many natural and man-made solid structures, ranging from atomic lattices to bridges, can be understood by viewing them as a network of balls (nodes) connected by springs (compressible struts).
Journal ArticleDOI
Active Viscoelasticity of Odd Materials
Debarghya Banerjee,Vincenzo Vitelli,Frank Jülicher,Frank Jülicher,Piotr Surówka,Piotr Surówka +5 more
TL;DR: This work generalizes the canonical Kelvin-Voigt and Maxwell models to active viscoelastic media that break both parity and time-reversal symmetries and exhibits viscous and elastic tensors that are both antisymmetric, or odd, under exchange of pairs of indices.
