Crystals are paradigms of ordered structures. While order was once seen as synonymous with lattice periodic arrangements, the discoveries of incommensurate crystals and quasicrystals led to a more general perception of crystalline order,…
This contribution discusses the geometry of $k$D crystal cells given by $(k+1)$ points in a projective space $\R^{n+1}$. We show how the concepts of barycentric and fractional (crystallographic) coordinates, reciprocal vectors and dual…
The so called theory of derived D-modules is an extension of classical D-modules to derived algebraic geometry, which uses the derived information of the base scheme. We prove that the three different definitions of derived D-modules, given…

We consider a two-dimensional layer of dipolar particles in the regime of strong dipole moments. Here we can describe the system using classical methods and determine the crystal structure that minimizes the total energy. The dipoles are…
According to classical nucleation theory, a crystal grows from a small nucleus that already bears the symmetry of its end phase - but experiments with colloids now reveal that, from an amorphous precursor, crystallites with different…
Category Theory provides us with a clear notion of what is an internal structure. This will allow us to focus our attention on a certain type of relationship between context and structure.
We describe the upper seminormal crystal structure for the $\mu$-supported $\delta$-vectors for any quiver with potential with reachable frozen vertices, or equivalently for the tropical points of the corresponding cluster $\mc{X}$-variety.…
We introduce a new class of graded rings extending the class of generalized Weyl algebras. These rings are orders in crossed products of the most general type, and we introduce their basic structure theory. We provide an extensive list of…
For materials science, diamond crystals are almost unrivaled for hardness and a range of other properties. Yet, when simply abstracting the carbon bonding structure as a geometric bar-and-joint periodic framework, it is far from rigid. We…
We develop the notion of indscheme in the context of derived algebraic geometry, and study the categories of quasi-coherent sheaves and ind-coherent sheaves on indschemes. The main results concern the relation between classical and derived…
We show how one can do algebraic geometry with respect to the category of simplicial objects in an exact category. As a biproduct, we get a theory of derived analytic geometry.
Purely real space versions of the differential equations describing the kinematics of a dislocated crystalline medium are considered. The differential geometric structures associated with them are revealed.
Liquid crystal is a typical kind of soft matter that is intermediate between crystalline solids and isotropic fluids. The study of liquid crystals has made tremendous progress over the last four decades, which is of great importance on both…
We define geometric crystals and unipotent crystals for arbitrary Kac-Moody groups and describe geometric and unipotent crystal structures on the Schubert varieties.
Comparing the bounded derived categories of an algebra and of the endomorphism algebra of a given support {\tau}-tilting module, we find a relation between the derived dimensions of an algebra and of the endomorphism algebra of a given…
This is a continuation of [15, 16]. We shall show that for type D_n the realization of crystal bases obtained from the decorated geometric crystals in [2] coincides with the polyhedral realizations of crystal bases.
We define a category of divided Dieudonn\'e crystals which classifies p-divisible groups over schemes in characteristic p with certain finiteness conditions, including all F-finite noetherian schemes. For formally smooth schemes or locally…
A general theory of topological classification of defects is introduced. We illustrate the application of tools from algebraic topology, including homotopy and cohomology groups, to classify defects including several explicit calculations…
This is an overview of higher structural constructions in physics. The main motivations of our current attempt are as follows: (i) to provide a brief introduction to derived algebraic geometry, (ii) to understand how derived objects…
