Crystals are the materials which can be described by uniform periodic lattices. Traditionally, only the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-fold rotation symmetries are allowed in crystals because other n-fold rotation symmetries are forbidden by the…
The Penrose tiling is directly related to the atomic structure of certain decagonal quasicrystals and, despite its aperiodicity, is highly symmetric. It is known that the numbers 1, $-\tau $, $(-\tau)^2$, $(-\tau)^3$, ..., where $\tau…
In contrast to many known results concerning periodic tilings of the Euclidean plane with pentagons, here tilings with rotational symmetry are investigated. A certain class of convex pentagons is introduced. It can be shown that for any…
We explicitly describe the isomorphism between two combinatorial realizations of Kashiwara's infinity crystal in types B and C. The first realization is in terms of marginally large tableaux and the other is in terms of Kostant partitions…
We construct a large class of examples of the cyclic sieving phenomenon by expoiting the representation theory of semi-simple Lie algebras. Let $M$ be a finite dimensional representation of a semi-simple Lie algebra and let $B$ be the…
We discover two distinct topological pathways through which the pentagonal Cairo tiling (P5), a structural model for single-layer $AB_2$ pyrite materials, respectively transforms into a crystalline rhombus-hexagon (C46) tiling and random…
We shall realize certain affine geometric crystal of type $D_4^{(3)}$ associated with the fundamental representation $W(\pi_1)$ explicitly . By its explicit form, we see that it has a positive structure.
We define new crystal maps on $B(\infty)$ using its polyhedral realization, and show that the crystal $B(\infty)$ equipped with the new crystal maps is isomorphic to Kashiwara's $B(\infty)$ as bicrystals. In addition, we combinatorially…
For symmetric Kashiwara crystals of type $A$ and rank $e=2$, and for the canonical basis elements that we call external, corresponding to weights on the outer skin of the Kashiwara crystal, we construct the canonical basis elements in a…
It is shown theoretically that a one-dimensional crystal with time reversal symmetry is characterized by a Z_{2} topological invariant that predicts the existence or otherwise of edge states. This is confirmed experimentally through the…
We develop a theory of simple pentagonal subdivision of quadrilateral tilings, on orientable as well as non-orientable surfaces. Then we apply the theory to answer questions related to pentagonal tilings of surfaces, especially those…
Colloidal suspensions have long been studied as a model for atomic and molecular systems, due to the ability to fluorescently label and individually track each particle, yielding particle-resolved structural information. This allows various…
The Kashiwara $B(\infty)$ crystal pertains to a Verma module for a Kac- Moody Lie algebra. Ostensibly it provides only a parametrisation of the global/canonical basis for the latter. Yet it is much more having a rich combinatorial structure…
Colored planar rook algebra is a semigroup algebra in which the basis element has a diagrammatic description. The category of finite dimensional modules over this algebra is completely reducible and suitable functors are defined on this…
In a recent Letter we proposed a means to realize a quasicrystal with eight-fold symmetry by trapping particles in an optical potential created by four lasers. The quasicrystals obtained in this way, which are closely related to the…
We study the crystal base $\mathsf{B}(\infty)$ associated with the negative part of the quantum group for finite simple Lie algebras of types $E_6$ and $E_7$. We present an explicit description of $\mathsf{B}(\infty)$ as the image of a…
For the Kashiwara crystal of a highest weight representation of an affine Lie algebra of type A and rank e, with highest weight $\Lambda$, there is a labeling by multipartitions and by piecewise linear paths in the real weight space called…
Let B(\infty) be the crystal corresponding to the nilpotent part of a quantized Kac-Moody algebra. We suggest a general way to represent B(\infty) as the set of integer solutions of a system of linear inequalities. As an application, we…
Aperiodic (quasicrystalline) tilings, such as Penrose's tiling, can be built up from e.g. kites and darts, squares and equilateral triangles, rhombi or shield shaped tiles and can have a variety of different symmetries. However, almost all…
We performed an extensive first-principles study of nanowires in various pentagonal structures by using pseudopotential plane wave method within the density functional theory. Our results show that nanowires of different types of elements,…
