Why hexagonal shape prevails? A personal perspective

Abstract

The hexagonal shape appears almost ubiquitous in nature. However, the mathematical theory to understand hexagonal shape is far from satisfactory. In this talk, I will present my personal understanding on this direction. I show introduce several related mathematical works, then briefly mention a joint work with Prof. Wei, contributing to the understanding of hexagonal shape.
