GEOMETRY AND CELL COMPLEXES

Polycrystalline materials, such as metals, ceramics and geological materials, are aggregates of single-crystal grains that are held together by highly defective boundaries. The structure of grain boundaries is...

ANALYSIS/MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS SEMINAR

For many elegant mathematical examples, one can 1) find theories behind them, 2) understand why they exist in the first place, 3) explore the consequences in math and physics. If one takes the Euler number as...
