This paper studies a problem of Erd\"{o}s concerning lattice cubes. Given an $N \times N \times N$ lattice cube, we want to find the maximum number of vertices one can select so that no eight corners of a rectangular box are chosen…
Suppose that a finite-dimensional cube is orthogonally projected onto a central section of itself by a subspace of one dimension less. Up to dimension $9$, at least one vertex is projected onto the section, but for dimension $10$ or larger,…
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…
A superconducting nanoscopic cylinder, with radius $R = 4.0\xi$ and height $D = 4.0\xi$ is submitted to an applied field along the cylinder axis. The Ginzburg-Landau theory is solved in three-dimensions using the simulated annealing…
We elucidate the connection between $SO(3) \times Z(2)$ and the usual SU(2) configuration variables. By exploiting the freedom of choosing a particular SO(3) representative we find a direct connection between the two configuration spaces.…
Lattices are discrete mathematical objects with widespread applications to integer programs as well as modern cryptography. A fundamental problem in both domains is the Closest Vector Problem (popularly known as CVP). It is well-known that…
Given a parametric lattice with a basis given by polynomials in Z[t], we give an algorithm to construct an LLL-reduced basis whose elements are eventually quasi-polynomial in t: that is, they are given by formulas that are piecewise…
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…
In this paper we address the problem of finding well approximating lattices for a given finite set $A$ of points in ${\mathbb R}^n$. More precisely, we search for $\v{o},\v{d_1}, \dots,\v{d_n}\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $\v{a}-\v{o}$ is…
We give a simple example showing that a knot or link diagram that lies in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^2$ lattice is not necessarily the projection of a lattice stick knot or link in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^3$ lattice, and we give a necessary and sufficient…
In a seminal work, Micciancio & Voulgaris (2013) described a deterministic single-exponential time algorithm for the Closest Vector Problem (CVP) on lattices. It is based on the computation of the Voronoi cell of the given lattice and thus…
In this note, we determine the maximum size of a $\{V_{k}, \Lambda_{l}\}$-free family in the lattice of vector subspaces of a finite vector space both in the non-induced case as well as the induced case, for a large range of parameters $k$…
We prove essentially optimal bounds for norms of spectral projectors on thin spherical shells for the Laplacian on the cylinder (R/Z)*R. In contrast to previous investigations into spectral projectors on tori, having one unbounded dimension…
We describe algorithms which address two classical problems in lattice geometry: the lattice covering and the simultaneous lattice packing-covering problem. Theoretically our algorithms solve the two problems in any fixed dimension d in the…
Let $P$ be a partially ordered set. We prove that if $n$ is sufficiently large, then there exists a packing $\mathcal{P}$ of copies of $P$ in the Boolean lattice $(2^{[n]},\subset)$ that covers almost every element of $2^{[n]}$:…
Let X be a tight t-design of dimension n for one of the open cases t=5 or t=7. An investigation of the lattice generated by X using arithmetic theory of quadratic forms allows to exclude infinitely many values for n.
Cubical rectangles are being defined and explored here over the $n-$dimensional geometric cube $Q_n.$ They form a new class of geometric objects that includes all the edges and all the squares of the $n-$cube. We enumerate and characterize…
There is a well-known asymptotic formula, due to W. M. Schmidt (1968) for the number of full-rank integer lattices of index at most $V$ in $\mathbb{Z}^n$. This set of lattices $L$ can naturally be partitioned with respect to the factor…
We consider the closest-point projection with respect to the Frobenius norm of a general real square matrix to the set SL($n$) of matrices with unit determinant. As it turns out, it is sufficient to consider diagonal matrices only. We…
We study cyclic sieving phenomena (CSP) on combinatorial objects from an abstract point of view by considering a rational polyhedral cone determined by the linear equations that define such phenomena. Each lattice point in the cone…
