The phase-field crystal (PFC) model describes crystal structures at diffusive timescales through a periodic, microscopic density field. It has been proposed to model elasticity in crystal growth and encodes most of the phenomenology related…
We prove a bijective unitary correspondence between 1) the isospectral torus of almost-periodic, absolutely continuous CMV matrices having fixed finite-gap spectrum and 2) special periodic block-CMV matrices satisfying a Magic Formula. This…
We consider the algebra of square matrices of bounded non-commutative (NC) functions over NC operator unit balls (unit balls corresponding to finite-dimensional operator spaces) and characterize cyclic matrix free polynomials with respect…
Symmetry equations are obtained for the rigidity matrix of a bar-joint framework in R^d. These form the basis for a short proof of the Fowler-Guest symmetry group generalisation of the Calladine-Maxwell counting rules. Similar symmetry…
We give a polynomial bound on the spectral density function of a matrix over the complex group ring of Z^d. It yields an explicit lower bound on the Novikov-Shubin invariant associated to this matrix showing in particular that the…
The general construction of frames of p-adic wavelets is described. We consider the orbit of a mean zero generic locally constant function with compact support (mean zero test function) with respect to the action of the p-adic affine group…
We prove for $n\geq c-1$ that the functor taking an animated ring $R$ to its mod $(p^c,v_1^{p^n})$ syntomic cohomology factors through the functor $R \mapsto R/p^{c(n+2)}$, a phenomenon we term crystallinity for mod $(p^c,v_1^{p^n})$…
We give an algebraic characterization of when a $d$-dimensional periodic framework has no non-trivial, symmetry preserving, motion for any choice of periodicity lattice. Our condition is decidable, and we provide a simple algorithm that…
A simple convex polytope $P$ is \emph{cohomologically rigid} if its combinatorial structure is determined by the cohomology ring of a quasitoric manifold over $P$. Not every $P$ has this property, but some important polytopes such as…
We give a combinatorial characterization of generic minimal rigidity for planar periodic frameworks. The characterization is a true analogue of the Maxwell-Laman Theorem from rigidity theory: it is stated in terms of a finite combinatorial…
The rigidity matrix is a fundamental tool for studying the infinitesimal rigidity properties of Euclidean bar-joint frameworks. In this paper we generalize this tool and introduce a rigidity matrix for bar-joint frameworks in arbitrary…
We establish effective bounds on the number of periodic points of degree-$d$ polynomials $\phi$ defined over $p$-adic fields and number fields, under a mild reduction hypothesis that is satisfied by all unicritical polynomials $X^d + c$…
We consider the family $\mathrm{MP}_d$ of affine conjugacy classes of polynomial maps of one complex variable with degree $d \geq 2$, and study the map $\Phi_d:\mathrm{MP}_d\to \widetilde{\Lambda}_d \subset \mathbb{C}^d / \mathfrak{S}_d$…
The lack of a unified theoretical framework for characterizing band inversions across different crystal symmetries hinders the rapid development of topological photonic band engineering. To address this issue, we have constructed a…
We consider the family $\mathrm{MC}_d$ of monic centered polynomials of one complex variable with degree $d \geq 2$, and study the map $\widehat{\Phi}_d:\mathrm{MC}_d\to \widetilde{\Lambda}_d \subset \mathbb{C}^d / \mathfrak{S}_d$ which…
In this work, two fast multipole boundary element formulations for the linear time-harmonic acoustic analysis of finite periodic structures are presented. Finite periodic structures consist of a bounded number of unit cell replications in…
We show that if X_n is a variety of cxn-matrices that is stable under the group Sym([n]) of column permutations and if forgetting the last column maps X_n into X_{n-1}, then the number of Sym([n])-orbits on irreducible components of X_n is…
Any homogeneous polynomial $P(x, y, z)$ of degree $d$, being restricted to a unit sphere $S^2$, admits essentially a unique representation of the form $\lambda_0 + \sum_{k = 1}^d \lambda_k [\prod_{j = 1}^k L_{kj}]$, where $L_{kj}$'s are…
Recent work from authors across disciplines has made substantial contributions to counting rules (Maxwell type theorems) which predict when an infinite periodic structure would be rigid or flexible while preserving the periodic pattern, as…
We introduce the notion of a polygonic spectrum which is designed to axiomatize the structure on topological Hochschild homology $\mathrm{THH}(R,M)$ of an $\mathbb{E}_1$-ring $R$ with coefficients in an $R$-bimodule $M$. For every polygonic…
