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. …

Abstract In this talk, I will explore how the diachronic and synchronic variation documented by Romance languages, and in particular by their dialectal varieties, offers us an unparalleled harvest of linguistic data (often of a typologically exotic …
