Self-organization of topological defects due to applied constraints.
While topological defects are essential to our understanding of self-organizing periodic systems, little is known about how these systems respond when their defects are subjected to geometrical constraints. In an experiment on spatially modulated thermal convection patterns, we observe that applied geometrical constraints bind topological defects into robust self-localized structures that evolv...
متن کاملOn a Deformed Topological Vertex
Recall the topological vertex involves three partitions, when one of them is empty it is related to the leading term of the large N colored HOMFLY polynomials of the Hopf link, and the general topological vertex can be expressed in terms of such leading terms. We will use the whole colored HOMFLY polynomials to define the deformed vertex, hence deformations of the partition functions of topolog...
متن کاملTopological Defects and Cosmology
Many particle physics models of matter admit solutions corresponding to stable or long-lived topological defects. In the context of standard cosmology it is then unavoidable that such defects will form during phase transitions in the very early Universe. Certain types of defects lead to disastrous consequences for cosmology, others may play a useful role, as possible seeds for the formation of ...
متن کاملTopological transitions in continuously-deformed photonic crystals
We demonstrate that multiple topological transitions that occur, with high-sensitivity, by continuous change in geometry of a simple 2D dielectric-frame photonic crystal consisting of circular air-holes. These transitions are characterized by the switch between the frequencies of the pand d-orbital Bloch modes encompassing the photonic band gap (PBG). By tuning the radii of the holes and/or the...
متن کاملTopological defects and open inflation
Alexander Vilenkin Institute of Cosmology, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155, USA Topological defects can naturally be formed soon after bubble nucleation in the open inflation scenario. The defects are not completely diluted away by the subsequent period of inflation in the bubble interior and can produce observable large-scale microwave background anisot...
