Persistent Homology Reveals the Role of Stiffness in Forming Topological Glasses in Dense Solutions of Ring Polymers
Shota Goto, Takenobu Nakamura, Davide Michieletto +2
Ring polymers are characterized by topology-specific entanglements called threadings. In the limit of large rings, it is conjectured that a "topological glass" should emerge due to…
