The many-defect problem : gauge-like variables for ordered media containing defects

A general theory for ordered media containing a continuous distribution of defects is desirable. The hydrodynamic theory of I. Dzyaloshinskii and G. Volovik is discussed. Another proposal stressing topological considerations is presented.
