Résumé

This survey is devoted to questions connected with the Novikov problem of describing the geometry of level curves of quasi-periodic functions on the plane with different numbers of quasi-periods. Considered here are the history of the question, the current state of research in this field, and a number of applications of this problem to various physical problems. The main focus is on applications of results obtained in this area to the theory of transport phenomena in electron systems. Bibliography: 56 titles.

Détail

Keywords: topological phenomena, Hamiltonian systems, transport phenomena.
