Coincidence Site Lattices (CSLs) are a well established tool in the theory of grain boundaries. For several lattices up to dimension $d=4$, the CSLs are known explicitly as well as their indices and multiplicity functions. Many of them…
Recently, the group of coincidence isometries of the root lattice $A_4$ has been determined providing a classification of these isometries with respect to their coincidence indices. A more difficult task is the classification of all CSLs,…
We consider the CSLs of 4-dimensional hypercubic lattices. In particular, we derive the coincidence index $\Sigma$ and calculate the number of different CSLs as well as the number of inequivalent CSLs for a given $\Sigma$. The hypercubic…
The coincidence site lattice (CSL) problem and its generalization to Z-modules in Euclidean 3-space is revisited, and various results and conjectures are proved in a unified way, by using maximal orders in quaternion algebras of class…
Discrete point sets $\mathcal{S}$ such as lattices or quasiperiodic Delone sets may permit, beyond their symmetries, certain isometries $R$ such that $\mathcal{S}\cap R\mathcal{S}$ is a subset of $\mathcal{S}$ of finite density. These are…
The coincidence site lattices of the root lattice $A_4$ are considered, and the statistics of the corresponding coincidence rotations according to their indices is expressed in terms of a Dirichlet series generating function. This is…
Ordinary Coincidence Site Lattices (CSLs) are defined as the intersection of a lattice $\Gamma$ with a rotated copy $R\Gamma$ of itself. They are useful for classifying grain boundaries and have been studied extensively since the mid…
A geometric study of twin and grain boundaries in crystals and quasicrystals is achieved via coincidence site lattices (CSLs) and coincidence site modules (CSMs), respectively. Recently, coincidences of shifted lattices and multilattices…
Lattices and Z-modules in Euclidean space possess an infinitude of subsets that are images of the original set under similarity transformation. We classify such self-similar images according to their indices for certain 4D examples that are…
We consider the symmetries of coincidence site lattices of 3-dimensional cubic lattices. This includes the discussion of the symmetry groups and the Bravais classes of the CSLs. We derive various criteria and necessary conditions for…
We consider the coincidence problem for the square lattice that is translated by an arbitrary vector. General results are obtained about the set of coincidence isometries and the coincidence site lattices of a shifted square lattice by…
A natural way to describe the Penrose tiling employs the projection method on the basis of the root lattice A4 or its dual. Properties of these lattices are thus related to properties of the Penrose tiling. Moreover, the root lattice A4…
A lattice is called well-rounded, if its lattice vectors of minimal length span the ambient space. We show that there are interesting connections between the existence of well-rounded sublattices and coincidence site lattices (CSLs).…
We consider connections between similar sublattices and coincidence site lattices (CSLs), and more generally between similar submodules and coincidence site modules of general (free) $\mathbb{Z}$-modules in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In particular, we…
We study the lattices of algebraic and transcendental cycles of cubic fourfolds.
The structure of the coincidence symmetry group of an arbitrary $n$-dimensional lattice in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space is considered by describing a set of generators. Particular attention is given to the coincidence isometry…
How are the symmetries encoded in quasicrystals? As a compensation for the lack of translational symmetry, quasicrystals admit non-crystallographic symmetries such as 5- and 8-fold rotations in two-dimensional space. It is originated from…
The groups of similarity and coincidence rotations of an arbitrary lattice L in d-dimensional Euclidean space are considered. It is shown that the group of similarity rotations contains the coincidence rotations as a normal subgroup.…
The problem of computing the index of a coincidence isometry of the hyper cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^{n}$ is considered. The normal form of a rational orthogonal matrix is analyzed in detail, and explicit formulas for the index of certain…
We describe extension of the pyritohedral symmetry to 4-dimensional Euclidean space and present the group elements in terms of quaternions. It turns out that it is a maximal subgroup of both the rank-4 Coxeter groups W(F4) and W(H4)…
