Talk:Topological quantum number

Verification by expert
I added Thouless as a reference but I did not see an actual definition of the the term. Cites for the individual examples should be found as well.--RDBury (talk) 20:54, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Solid State Physics
The article states that screw dislocations can be "described" by topological solitons. Not sure I would agree with that. Other than happening to generate a helical pattern, what is it that topological solitons do that describes the actual physics of screw dislocations? Wikibearwithme (talk) 07:46, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
