I wonder if there are any books or resources that may address one or more of the following questions:

  • What kinds of defects are important for topology? Especially crystallographic defects.
  • How do they relate to the defect topological dimension?
  • How do they change in different crystal dimensions?

Arkadiy Simonov and Andrew Goodwin have a nice review out on the arXiv regarding designing disorder into materials, that can elicit unique topological states [1], and there is are some older reviews discussing specifically crystallography [2,3]. For a more robust mathematical treatment, this paper focuses on abstraction with a set of good physical examples [4].
