Introduction to topological defects: from liquid crystals to particle physics
Sébastien Fumeron, Bertrand Berche
Liquid crystals are assemblies of rod-like molecules which self-organize to form mesophases, in-between ordinary liquids and anisotropic crystals. At each point, the molecules coll…
Diffusion in the presence of a chiral topological defect
Andy Manapany, Leila Moueddene, Bertrand Berche +1
We study the diffusion processes of a real scalar field in the presence of the distorsion field induced by a chiral topological defect. The defect modifies the usual Euclidean back…
Classical Kalb-Ramond field theory in curved spacetimes
Bertrand Berche, Sébastien Fumeron, Fernando Moraes
We propose to develop the Kalb-Ramond theory in four-dimensional spacetime at the level of a classical field theory by following the same formal development steps as in Maxwell the…
