At low temperatures the configurational phase space of a macroscopic complex system (e.g., a spin-glass) of N - 10^23 interacting particles may split into an exponential number Ωs - exp(const × N) of ergodic sub...
A topological theory of liquid crystal films in the presence of defects is developed based on the Ф-mapping topological current theory. By generalizing the free-energy density in "one-constant" approximation, a cov...
