Lecture notes Boulder summer school 2015 Soft matter in and out of equilibrium Geometric frustration and handedness

چکیده
This series of three lecture will deal with two basic notions that are encountered in many different soft matter systems; geometric frustration and handedness. The first two lectures will focus on geometric frustration. We will introduce different kinds of geometric frustration, and discuss different possible strategies of resolving the resulting frustration, emphasizing differences between local and global strategies. The third lecture will introduce a quantitative path to handed phenomena. We will discuss the history of chirality as defined by Lord Kelvin, and the difficulties that arise when using it as a source for a quantitative treatment of handedness. We will then present the orientation dependent generalization of this notion, and its implications. Both notions, that of geometric frustration and that of handedness, are of exceptional use in may soft matter systems where the constituents of a structure are ofter big enough to possess a non-trivial internal structure.

متن کاملForcing Summer School Lecture Notes
These are the lecture notes for the forcing class in the 2014 UCLA Logic Summer School. They are a revision of the 2013 Summer School notes. The most substantial differences are a new proof of the forcing theorems in section 10.3 and a final section on the consistency of the failure of the axiom of choice. Both write-ups are by Sherwood Hachtman; the former is based on the author’s notes from a...
