Evolution of a medium, which is subjected to the transition of crystallisation, martensitic type and so on, is realised as the interaction of a Higgs field, that describes a reconstruction of atomic system (transformation of potential relief), and a gauge field of displacements. It is shown, that the soliton type distribution of the fields is connected with one‐ and two‐dimensional defects. The conditions of the existence of defects are analyzed.
