One- and Two-Dimensional Fluids: Properties of Smectic, Lamellar and Columnar Liquid Crystals vs Bulk and Boundary Invariants for Complex Topological Insulators: From K-Theory to Physics
Overall winner: One- and Two-Dimensional Fluids: Properties of Smectic, Lamellar and Columnar Liquid Crystals
Key Differences
A. Jakli's book focuses on one- and two-dimensional fluids and multiple liquid-crystal structures (smectic, lamellar, columnar) and is offered at a more affordable listed price tier and has two user reviews at a 5.00 rating. Emil Prodan & Hermann Schulz-Baldes' title targets topological insulators with K-theory and a rigorous math-physics approach, serving readers needing formal theoretical reference material despite having a slightly higher listed price tier and one 5.00 review
