Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
The picture represents a 'finite energy foliation' of the 3-dimensional manifold S1 x S2 with its standard contact structure. Finite energy foliations are ways of filling 3-dimensional space with smooth surfaces that are solutions to a differential equation arising in string theory. Such pictures can help us gain insight into problems in dynamical systems and in topology. An important strand in research by Chris Wendl (UCL Mathematics) has been using finite energy foliations to try and answer the question, "how many different 4-dimensional shapes could this 3-dimensional shape be the boundary of?"
