Singular cores of solitons: a new type of topological excitations in ordered media: are investigated by the methods of homotopic topology. A classification of such excitations is found. The singular cores of solitons and defects in superfluid /sup 3/He-A and nematic liquid crystals are investigated within the framework of the proposed approach.
