Entangled Nets from Surface Drawings — •Benedikt Kolbe — Institute of Mathematics, Technische Universität Berlin

Imagine drawing a few lines on an arbitrary surface. What if the drawing for the rest of the surface can be filled in by invoking symmetries? Is there a way to enumerate different ways of scribbling? If the goal was to find molecular structures by drawing them on surfaces, what surfaces would we start with and why?

This talk will motivate and answer these questions, while focusing on a new technique to explicitly enumerate and construct all essentially different ways to decorate prominent examples of triply periodic minimal surfaces with a given symmetry. We will also touch upon what kind of 3D structures arise in this way.

There will be tie-ins to geometry, braid theory, combinatorial group and tiling theory, physics, and even some chemistry.
