Some aspects of defect theory in spacetime
Maurice Kleman
The topological theory and the Volterra process are key tools for the classification of defects in Condensed Mater Physics. We employ the same methods to classify the 2D defects of…

Cosmic Forms
Maurice Kleman
The continuous 1D defects of an isotropic homogeneous material in a flat 3D space are classified by the Volterra process construction method. We employ the same method to classify…

Forms of matter and forms of radiation
Maurice Kleman
The theory of defects in ordered and ill-ordered media is a well-advanced part of condensed matter physics. Concepts developed in this field also occur in the study of spacetime si…
