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