Cyclic lattices are sublattices of $\mathbb Z^N$ that are preserved under the rotational shift operator. Cyclic lattices were introduced by D.~Micciancio and their properties were studied in the recent years by several authors due to their…
We use theta series and modular forms to prove that Z^n is the only integral unimodular lattice of rank n without characteristic vectors of norm <n, i.e. the only integral unimodular lattice not containing a vector w such that (w,w)<n and…
Properties of several sorts of lattices of convex subsets of R^n are examined. The lattice of convex sets containing the origin turns out, for n>1, to satisfy a set of identities strictly between those of the lattice of all convex subsets…
We study the volume ratio between projections of two convex bodies. Given a high-dimensional convex body $K$ we show that there is another convex body $L$ such that the volume ratio between any two projections of fixed rank of the bodies…
We consider the following geometric optimization problem: find a maximum-area rectangle and a maximum-perimeter rectangle contained in a given convex polygon with $n$ vertices. We give exact algorithms that solve these problems in time…
We investigate the structure of center vortices in maximal center gauge of SU(2) lattice gauge theory at zero and finite temperature. In center projection the vortices (called P-vortices) form connected two dimensional surfaces on the dual…
Lattice gauge theory simulations are our principal probe of the masses of the light quarks. Results from such computations are the primary evidence against the $m_u=0$ solution to the strong CP problem. The large-$N$ approximation offers an…
One important question in the theory of lattices is to detect a shortest vector: given a norm and a lattice, what is the smallest norm attained by a non-zero vector contained in the lattice? We focus on the infinity norm and work with…
Lattice rounding in Euclidean space can be viewed as finding the nearest point in the orbit of an action by a discrete group, relative to the norm inherited from the ambient space. Using this point of view, we initiate the study of…
A 1984 problem of S.Z. Ditor asks whether there exists a lattice of cardinality aleph two, with zero, in which every principal ideal is finite and every element has at most three lower covers. We prove that the existence of such a lattice…
The set of primitive vectors on large spheres in the euclidean space of dimension d>2 equidistribute when projected on the unit sphere. We consider here a refinement of this problem concerning the direction of the vector together with the…
We consider the number of visible lattice points under the assumption of the Extended Lindel\"{o}f Hypothesis. We get a relation between visible lattice points and the Extended Lindel\"{o}f Hypothesis. And we also get a relation between…
In this note we give a polynomial time algorithm for solving the closest vector problem in the class of zonotopal lattices. The Voronoi cell of a zonotopal lattice is a zonotope, i.e. a projection of a regular cube. Examples of zonotopal…
The number of lattice points $\left| tP \cap \mathbb{Z}^d \right|$, as a function of the real variable $t>1$ is studied, where $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ belongs to a special class of algebraic cross-polytopes and simplices. It is shown that…
A numerical search for straight superconducting vortices in a U(1) model with a Ginzburg-Landau potential containing a cubic term, is presented. Such vortices exist in a small numerically determined region. The reasons of their existence in…
It is shown that, given any $k$-dimensional lattice $\Lambda$, there is a lattice sequence $\Lambda_w$, $w\in \mathbb Z$, with sub-orthogonal lattice $\Lambda_o \subset \Lambda$, converging to $\Lambda$ (unless equivalence), also we discuss…
In this article, we determine the existing condition of cylinders in smooth minimal geometrically rational surfaces over a perfect field. Furthermore, we show that for any birational map between smooth projective surfaces, one contains a…
For each i = 1, ..., n constructions are given for convex bodies K and L in n-dimensional Euclidean space such that each rank i orthogonal projection of K can be translated inside the corresponding projection of L, even though K has…
The lattice $A_n^*$ is an important lattice because of its covering properties in low dimensions. Clarkson \cite{Clarkson1999:Anstar} described an algorithm to compute the nearest lattice point in $A_n^*$ that requires $O(n\log{n})$…
The basic tool for solving problems in metric geometry and isotonic regression is the metric projection onto closed convex cones. Isotonicity of these projections with respect to a given order relation can facilitate finding the solutions…
