Topological defects in triplet superconductors UPt$_{3}$,   Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$, etc
  After a brief introduction on nodal superconductors, we review the topological defects in triplet superconductors such as UPt$_{3}$, Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$, etc. This is in part motivated by the surprising discovery of Ana Celia Mota and her colleagues that in some triplet superconductors the flux motion is completely impeded (the ideal pinning). Among topological defects the most prominent is Abrikosov's vortex with quantum flux $\phi_{0}= \frac{hc}{2e}$. Abrikosov's vortex is universal and ubiquitous and seen in both conventional and unconventional superconductors by the Bitter decoration technique, small angle neutron scattering (SANS), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), micromagnetometer and more recently by Lorentz electron micrograph. In order to interpret the experiment by Mota et al a variety of textures are proposed. In particular, in analogy to superfluid $^{3}$He-A the $\hat{\ell}$-soliton and $\hat{d}$-soliton play the prominent role. We review these notions and point out possible detection of these domain walls and half-quantum vortices in some triplet superconductors.
