Point disclinations in the Chern-Simons geometric theory of defects

Abstract

© 2020 World Scientific Publishing Company. We use the Chern-Simons action for a (3)-connection for the description of point disclinations in the geometric theory of defects. The most general spherically symmetric (3)-connection with zero curvature is found. The corresponding orthogonal spherically symmetric (3) matrix and n-field are computed. Two examples of point disclinations are described.
