  "abstract": "are immune against annihilation and form stable twin-like pairs known as Lehmann clusters. We point out that this immunity is due to the escape of the director field into the third dimension. We show that from a topological point of view, Lehmann clusters can be seen as skyrmion tubes embedded in a helicoidal background, and their extremities have the topology of monopoles.",
