  text: We give a bird's-eye view of the plastic deformation of crystals aimed at
    the statistical physics community, as well as a broad introduction to the statistical
    theories of forced rigid systems aimed at the plasticity community. Memory effects
    in magnets, spin glasses, charge density waves, and dilute colloidal suspensions
    are discussed in relation to the onset of plastic yielding in crystals. Dislocation
    avalanches and complex dislocation tangles are discussed via a brief introduction
    to the renormalization group and scaling. Analogies to emergent scale invariance
    in fracture, jamming, coarsening, and a variety of depinning transitions are explored.
    Dislocation dynamics in crystals challenge nonequilibrium statistical physics.
    Statistical physics provides both cautionary tales of subtle memory effects in
    nonequilibrium systems and systematic tools designed to address complex scale-invariant
    behavior on multiple length scales and timescales.
