Topology and Geometry of Smectic Order on Compact Curved Substrates
Xiangjun Xing
Smectic order on arbitrary curved substrate can be described by a differential form of rank one (1-form), whose geometric meaning is the differential of the local phase field of th…

Isotropic-Cholesteric Transition of a Weakly Chiral Elastomer Cylinder
Xiangjun Xing, Aparna Baskaran
When a chiral isotropic elastomer is brought to low temperature cholesteric phase, the nematic degree of freedom tends to order and form a helix. Due to the nemato-elastic coupling…

Vacancy diffusion in the triangular lattice dimer model
Monwhea Jeng, Mark J. Bowick, Werner Krauth +2
We study vacancy diffusion on the classical triangular lattice dimer model, sub ject to the kinetic constraint that dimers can only translate, but not rotate. A single vacancy, i.e…
