Springer eBooks

Topology in the Electron Theory of Metals -- Topology, Quasiperiodic Functions, and the Transport Phenomena -- The Role of Topology in Growth and Agglomeration -- Topological Defects in Carbon Nanocrystals -- Physics from Topology and Structures -- Phason Dynamics in Aperiodic Crystals -- Hamiltonian Monodromy as Lattice Defect -- Two-Qubit and Three-Qubit Geometry and Hopf Fibrations -- Defects, Surface Anchoring, and Three-Dimensional Director Fields in the Lamellar Structure of Cholesteric Liquid Crystals as Studied by Fluorescence Confocal Polarizing Microscopy.

This book reports new results in condensed matter physics for which topological methods and ideas are important. It considers, on the one hand, recently discovered systems such as carbon nanocrystals and, on the other hand, new topological methods used to describe more traditional systems such as the Fermi surfaces of normal metals, liquid crystals and quasicrystals. The authors of the book are renowned specialists in their fields and present the results of ongoing research, some of it obtained only very recently and not yet published in monograph form.
