Chern-Simons theory and three-dimensional surfaces
Jemal Guven
There are two natural Chern-Simons theories associated with the embedding of a three-dimensional surface in Euclidean space; one is constructed using the induced metric connection…
Axially symmetric membranes with polar tethers
Pavel Castro-Villarreal, Jemal Guven
Axially symmetric equilibrium configurations of the conformally invariant Willmore energy are shown to satisfy an equation that is two orders lower in derivatives of the embedding…
Hamiltonian dynamics of extended objects: Regge-Teitelboim model
Riccardo Capovilla, Alberto Escalante, Jemal Guven +1
We consider the Regge-Teitelboim model for a relativistic extended object embedded in a fixed background Minkowski spacetime, in which the dynamics is determined by an action propo…
Laplace pressure as a surface stress in fluid vesicles
Jemal Guven
Consider a surface, enclosing a fixed volume, described by a free-energy depending only on the local geometry; for example, the Canham-Helfrich energy quadratic in the mean curvatu…
