In this talk, I will discuss mathematical models and tools for analyzing
physical and biological processes that exhibit co-dimension one
characteristics. Examples include the assembly of inorganic
polyoxometalate (POM) macroions into hollow spherical structures and the
assembly of surfactant molecules into micelles and vesicles. I will
characterize when such structures can arise in the context of isotropic
and anisotropic models, as well as applications of these insights to
physical models of these behaviors.
