It is well-known that exact enumerations of close-packed dimers can be carried out for two-dimensional lattices. While details of results are now known for most lattices, due to the unique nature of the lattice structure, there has been no…
Using atomistic simulations, we show that new types of skyrmion states called skyrmion molecular crystals and skyrmion superlattices can be realized on triangular substrates when there are two or three skyrmions per substrate minimum. We…

We compare the structural and mechanical properties of static packings composed of frictionless convex (ellipses) and concave (rigid dimers) particles in two dimensions. We employ numerical simulations to generate static packings and…

We study lattice fermions from the viewpoint of spectral graph theory (SGT). We find that a fermion defined on a certain lattice is identified as a spectral graph. SGT helps us investigate the number of zero eigenvalues of lattice Dirac…
We consider the reversible adsorption of dimers on a regular lattice, where adsorption occurs on a finite fraction of sites selected randomly. By comparing this system to the pure system where all sites are available for adsorption, we show…
We first show that the tilings of a general domain form a lattice which we then undertake to decompose and generate without any redundance. To this end, we study extensively the relatively simple case of hexagons and their deformations. We…
We derive exact results for close-packed dimers on the triangular kagome lattice (TKL), formed by inserting triangles into the triangles of the kagome lattice. Because the TKL is a non-bipartite lattice, dimer-dimer correlations are…
This article presents a Hamiltonian lattice formulation of static Casimir systems at a level of generality appropriate for an introductory investigation. Background structure - represented by a lattice potential V(x) - is introduced along…
We study two simple modifications of self-avoiding polygons. Osculating polygons are a super-set in which we allow the perimeter of the polygon to touch at a vertex. Neighbour-avoiding polygons are only allowed to have nearest neighbour…
We have observed the quench of the lasing at the exceptional point in the electronic circuit system by applying asymmetric gain in the coupled oscillator. Since there is the analogy between oscillation in laser and oscilation in the…
Laser beams can be made to form bright and dark intensity helices of light. Such helices have a pitch length on the order of a wavelength and may have applications in lithography and the manipulation of particles through optical forces. The…
Sketching is a dimensionality reduction technique where one compresses a matrix by linear combinations that are chosen at random. A line of work has shown how to sketch the Hessian to speed up each iteration in a second order method, but…
The problem of damping a system of linear oscillators is considered. The problem is solved by using a control in the form of dry friction. The motion of the system under the control is governed by a system of differential equations with…
In this exploratory lattice study, low-energy near threshold scattering of the $(\bar{D}_1 D^{*})^\pm$ meson system is analyzed using lattice QCD with $N_f=2$ twisted mass fermion configurations. Both s-wave ($J^P=0^-$) and p-wave…
It is well known that Maxwell equations can be expressed in a unitary Schrodinger-Dirac representation for homogeneous media. However, difficulties arise when considering inhomogeneous media. A Dyson map points to a unitary field qubit…
