Icosadeltahedral geometry of fullerenes, viruses and geodesic domes
I discuss the symmetry of fullerenes, viruses and geodesic domes within a unified framework of icosadeltahedral representation of these objects. The icosadeltahedral symmetry is explained in details by examination of all of these structures. Using Euler’s theorem on polyhedra, it is shown how to calculate the number of vertices, edges, and faces in domes, and number of atoms, bonds and pentagon...
متن کاملGeometry and Quantum Mechanics
Attempts for a geometrical interpretation of Quantum Theory were made, notably the deBroglie-Bohm formulation. This was further refined by Santamato who invoked Weyl's geometry. However these attempts left a number of unanswered questions. In the present paper we return to these two formulations, in the context of recent studies invoking fuzzy spacetime and noncom-mutative geometry. We argue th...
متن کاملStochastic Geometry and Statistical Mechanics
s of the talks on “Stochastic geometry and statistical mechanics”, January 27, 2010 Thierry Bodineau (Paris): On the equivalence of ensembles Equivalence of ensembles plays a crucial role in equilibrium statistical mechanics and in the justification of the Gibbs measures. We will first review some facts on the equivalence of ensembles and then address the question of its validity for non-equili...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics of Geometry
Over the past six years, a detailed framework has been constructed to unravel the quantum nature of the Riemannian geometry of physical space. A review of these developments is presented at a level which should be accessible to graduate students in physics. As an illustrative application, I indicate how some of the detailed features of the micro-structure of geometry can be tested using black h...
متن کاملiterative ratios in the fractal geometry of urchīn domes
in the classification of traditional domes, they are divided into two main categories: “roc” (cone-shaped) and “nār” (hemisphere-like) domes. urchīn domes are a sub-category of cone-shaped domes which were common in the past in the region of mesopotamia and southwest of iran. the fractal geometry is the best way to describe the geometrical structure of these domes, because the existence of self...
