Chirality (mathematics)

In geometry, a figure is chiral (and said to have chirality) if it is not identical to its mirror image, or, more precisely, if it cannot be mapped to its mirror image by rotations and translations alone. An object that is not chiral is said to be achiral. A chiral object and its mirror image are said to be enantiomorphs. The word chirality is derived from the Greek χείρ (cheir), the hand, the most familiar chiral object; the word enantiomorph stems from the Greek ἐναντίος (enantios) 'opposite' + μορφή (morphe) 'form'. (Wikipedia).

Chirality VS. Helicity | Spin and Lorentz Group

Chirality and helicity often appear at the same time in a lecture and often it’s difficult to figure out their difference. So what exactly is the difference between chirality and helicity? If you want to read more about helicity and chirality, we can recommend the book „An Introduction to

What is... an elliptic curve?

In this talk, we will define elliptic curves and, more importantly, we will try to motivate why they are central to modern number theory. Elliptic curves are ubiquitous not only in number theory, but also in algebraic geometry, complex analysis, cryptography, physics, and beyond. They were

Erica Flapan (9/18/18): Topological and geometric symmetries of molecular structures

How does a chemist know that a molecule that he or she has synthesized has the desired form? Most non-biological molecules are too small to see in a microscope or even with the help of an electron micrograph. So chemists need to collect experimental data as evidence that a synthetic mole
