set of boundary conditions which are often chosen for approximating a large (infinite) system by using a small part called a unit cell
When an object passes through one side of the unit cell, it re-appears on the opposite side with the same velocity. In topological terms, the space made by one-dimensional PBCs can be thought of as being mapped onto a circle. The space made by two-dimensional PBCs can be thought of as being mapped onto a torus.
