A Björling Representation for Jacobi Fields on Minimal Surfaces and Soap Film Instabilities
Gareth P. Alexander, Thomas Machon
We develop a general framework for the description of instabilities on soap films using the Björling representation of minimal surfaces. The construction is naturally geometric and…

Singular Contact Geometry and Beltrami Fields in Cholesteric Liquid Crystals
Joseph Pollard, Gareth P. Alexander
The description of point defects in chiral liquid crystals via topological methods requires the introduction of singular contact structures, a generalisation of regular contact str…

Three-Dimensional Active Defect Loops
Jack Binysh, Žiga Kos, Simon Čopar +2
We describe the flows and morphological dynamics of topological defect lines and loops in three-dimensional active nematics and show, using theory and numerical modelling, that the…
