We discuss the relationship between “string structures” and the topological class λ∈H4(M,Z) on non-simply connected manifolds. We also investigate to what extent the index formula for the Dirac-Ramond ...
MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...
For a weak 2-group G, we construct a bicategory of flat G-bundles over differentiable stacks as a localization of a functor bicategory. This description is amenable to explicit geometric constructions ...
A new single-string method lets flat designs deploy into complex 3D structures, with potential uses in modular space habitats ...
Abstract: Two in situ measurement schemes, using micromachined resonant string structures, for the measurement of the polyimide residual stress and polyimide/metal adhesion durability have been ...
