Self-dual bending theory for vesicles

Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

We present a self-dual bending theory that may enable a better understanding of highly nonlinear global behaviour observed in biological vesicles. Adopting this topological approach for spherical vesicles of revolution allows us to describe them as frustrated sine-Gordon kinks. Finally, to illustrate an application of our results, we consider a spherical vesicle globally distorted by two polar latex beads.
