Ordering of Curving Interfaces

Curved surfaces are fundamental parts of living systems. This thesis examines how materials can order on curving interfaces, resulting in shape changes and pattern formation. Many phenomena that are well-studied in flat space display new behavior when lifted onto a deformable surface: liquid crystal...
