Editors: Nishiura, Yasumasa, Kotani, Motoko (Eds.)
Includes the latest studies of mathematical aspects in defect dynamics, negatively curved carbon crystal, topological analysis of di-block copolymers, persistence modules, and fracture dynamics
Presents materials beneficial not only for mathematicians but also for physicists and engineers
Reflects the activities of the Advanced Institute for Materials Research at Tohoku University
This volume comprises eight papers delivered at the RIMS International Conference "Mathematical Challenges in a New Phase of Materials Science", Kyoto, August 4-8, 2014. The contributions address subjects in defect dynamics, negatively curved carbon crystal, topological analysis of di-block copolymers, persistence modules, and fracture dynamics. These papers highlight the strong interaction between mathematics and materials science and also reflect the activity of WPI-AIMR at Tohoku University, in which collaborations between mathematicians and experimentalists are actively ongoing.
