Iterated Moire Maps and Braiding of Chiral Polymer Crystals
Randall D. Kamien, David R. Nelson
In the hexagonal columnar phase of chiral polymers a bias towards cholesteric twist competes with braiding along an average direction. When the chirality is strong, screw dislocati…

Rotational Invariance and the Theory of Directed Polymer Nematics
Randall D. Kamien, Pierre Le Doussal, David R. Nelson
The consequences of rotational invariance in a recent theory of fluctuations in dilute polymer nematics are explored. A correct rotationally invariant free energy insures that anom…
