In this work we will focus on the effects produced by topological disorder on the electronic properties of a graphene plane. The presence of this type of disorder induces curvature in the samples of this material, making quite difficult the application of standard techniques of many-body quantum theory. Once we understand the nature of these defects, we can apply ideas belonging to quantum field theory in curved space-time and extract information on physical properties that can be measured experimentally.
