We demonstrate that the classical dimer model defined on a toroidal hexagonal lattice acquires holonomy phases in the thermodynamic limit. When all activities are equal the lattice sizes must be considered mod 6 in which case the finite…

Localized magnetic topological solitons with Hopf index of 1 in an unbounded bulk magnet are studied theoretically, starting with the classical micromagnetic Hamiltonian. It is shown analytically that (like Bloch and N\'eel walls in…
It is proposed that a lattice, with constituent masses and spring constants, may be considered as a model system for topological matter. For instance, a relative variation of the inter- and intra-unit cell spring constants can be used to…
