Surface defects in vesicle aggregates and anyons

TL;DR

This paper explores how surface defects influence vesicle aggregate shapes using experimental microscopy data and models from the fractional quantum Hall effect to understand topological defect impacts.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach linking surface defects in vesicles to FQHE models, providing new insights into aggregate form evolution.

Findings

Surface defects significantly affect vesicle shape dynamics.

FQHE models can effectively describe topological defect influences.

Experimental data supports the theoretical framework.

Abstract

We consider surface defects in connection to the closed vesicle form evolution in mesomorphism of lyotropic aggregates, based on the experimental data by Feigenson \cite{Feig} on confocal fluorescent resonant microscopy for the lipid $DPPC/ DLPC$/cholesterol system. To estimate the influence of surface topological defects onto aggregate form it has been used the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) description \cite{EPL1992}, \cite{Haldane1}.
