Contact topology and the structure and dynamics of cholesterics
Using tools and concepts from contact topology we show that non-vanishing twist implies conservation of the layer structure in cholesteric liquid crystals. This leads to a number of additional topological invariants for cholesteric configurations, such as layer numbers, that are not captured by trad...
