Nonabelian Topological Defects
Guest lecturer
Event
Abstract The line defects of three dimensional uniaxial nematics have a simple abelian algebra governing their interactions and so simply pass through one another. I will discuss, instead, biaxial nematics for which the fundamental group is non-abelian. …
