Surprising geometries and novel materials
From disordered to ordered spatial structures, complex geometries can
define new states of matter, rigorously formulated in mathematics and
experimentally observed in physics. Surprising probabilistic and
geometric phenomena can lead to both fundamental insights and innovative
material designs. By presenting recent examples of intriguing
geometries, this talk spans a bridge from an anomalous suppression of
large-scale density fluctuations to stable matchings and from a hidden
order in tessellations to photonic networks, which shape the flow of light.
