Writhing Geometry of Stiff Polymers and Scattered Light
A. C. Maggs
The geometry of a smooth line is characterized locally by its curvature and torsion, or globally by its writhe. In many situations of physical interest the line is, however, not sm…

Writhing Photons and Berry Phases in Diffusive Wave Scattering
A. C. Maggs, V. Rossetto
We study theoretically the polarization state of light in multiple scattering media in the limit of weak gradients in refractive index. Linearly polarized photons are randomly rota…

Comment on "Elasticity Model of a Supercoiled DNA Molecule"
V. Rossetto, A. C. Maggs
We perform simulations to numerically study the writhe distribution of a stiff polymer. We compare with analytic results of Bouchiat and Mezard (PRL 80 1556- (1998); cond-mat/97060…
