Abstract
The authors derive dynamic equations for one or a small number of topological defects which supplement the hydrodynamic equations (for systems close to local thermodynamic equilibrium) or phase equations (for systems far from equilibrium) for the slow variables of any ordered medium. Special cases are discussed and a generalisation of the Peach-Koehler force is presented.Keywords
