To an algebraic curve C over the complex numbers one can associate a non-negative integer g, the genus, as a measure of its complexity.

In some condensed matter systems, such as the surface of a 3D topological insulator, the electrons are effectively massless and we must necessarily use the massless Dirac equation to describe them.
