Wikipedia definition
1. Topological defectAlso see base concepts: topology, differential equations, quantum mechanics & condensed matter physics. In mathematics and physics, a topological soliton or a topological defect is a solution of a system of partial differential equations or of a quantum field theory homotopically distinct from the vacuum solution; it can be proven to exist because the boundary conditions entail the existence of homotopically distinct solutions.
