Dr. Erica Flapan

Mirror image symmetry plays an important role in predicting
the behavior of molecules. Knots and links and other non-planar molecules
have been synthesized which are large enough that they no longer have
the rigidity that is characteristic of small molecules. In order to understand
the symmetries of such molecules we need to understand their deformations.
Topology is the area of mathematics that analyzes how geometric objects
can be deformed and which properties of such an object will be preserved
by
deformations. In this talk we will discuss how topology can be used to
help us analyze the symmetries of flexible molecules.
