The non-Riemannian dislocated crystal: a tribute to Ekkehart Kröner (1919–2000). (English) Zbl 1281.74029

Summary: This expository paper is a tribute to Ekkehart Kröner’s results on the intrinsic non-Riemannian geometrical nature of a single crystal filled with point and/or line defects. A new perspective on this old theory is proposed, intended to contribute to the debate around the still open Kröner’s question: “what are the dynamical variables of our theory?”
