Phases of kinky holographic nuclear matter (2016)
Journal Article
Elliot-Ripley, M., Sutcliffe, P., & Zamaklar, M. (2016). Phases of kinky holographic nuclear matter. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(10), Article 088. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep10%282016%29088

Holographic QCD at finite baryon number density and zero temperature is studied within the five-dimensional Sakai-Sugimoto model. We introduce a new approximation that models a smeared crystal of solitonic baryons by assuming spatial homogeneity to o... Read More about Phases of kinky holographic nuclear matter.

Knot theory in modern chemistry (2016)
Journal Article
Horner, K. E., Miller, M. A., Steed, J. W., & Sutcliffe, P. M. (2016). Knot theory in modern chemistry. Chemical Society Reviews, 45(23), 6432-6448. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6cs00448b

Knot theory is a branch of pure mathematics, but it is increasingly being applied in a variety of sciences. Knots appear in chemistry, not only in synthetic molecular design, but also in an array of materials and media, including some not traditional... Read More about Knot theory in modern chemistry.

Untangling knots via reaction-diffusion dynamics of vortex strings (2016)
Journal Article
Maucher, F., & Sutcliffe, P. (2016). Untangling knots via reaction-diffusion dynamics of vortex strings. Physical Review Letters, 116(17), Article 178101. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.116.178101

We introduce and illustrate a new approach to the unknotting problem via the dynamics of vortex strings in a nonlinear partial differential equation of reaction-diffusion type. To untangle a given knot, a Biot-Savart construction is used to initializ... Read More about Untangling knots via reaction-diffusion dynamics of vortex strings.

The dynamics of aloof baby Skyrmions (2016)
Journal Article
Salmi, P., & Sutcliffe, P. (2016). The dynamics of aloof baby Skyrmions. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(1), Article 145. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep01%282016%29145

The aloof baby Skyrme model is a (2+1)-dimensional theory with solitons that are lightly bound. It is a low-dimensional analogue of a similar Skyrme model in (3+1)-dimensions, where the lightly bound solitons have binding energies comparable to nucle...
