a Spatial correlation functions between soft spots (identified using the softness parameter, Eq. (7)) and HTDs within the non-affine displacement field. The correlations for HTDs with topological charge Q = +1 (−1) are shown in red (blue), respectively. b Spatial correlations between soft spots and HTDs with hyperbolic and radial geometrical nature. Both data sets are averaged over different γ values (with error bars), corresponding to plastic events as indicated in Supplementary Fig. 1c.
