Curvature controlled defect dynamics in topological active nematics
Abstract We study the spatiotemporal patterns that emerge when an active nematic film is topologically constraint. These topological constraints allow to control the non-equilibrium dynamics of the active system. We consider ellipsoidal shapes for which the resulting defects are 1/2 disclinations an...
