We investigate combined effects of topology and boundaries on the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the fermionic current in the space with an arbitrary number of toroidally compactified dimensions. As a geometry of boundaries we consider two parallel plates on which the fermion field obeys bag boundary conditions. Al…

Abstract Thermoset composite systems, such as those based on epoxy resins, have been known for a long time. These systems suffer from a series of drawbacks, which include a limited number of fabrication processes, the inability to reuse scrap or rework cured parts, and a general lack of toughness. These drawbacks are…
