A Dirac comb of point measures in Euclidean space with bounded complex weights that is supported on a lattice inherits certain general properties from the lattice structure. In particular, its autocorrelation admits a factorization into a…
We study hyperuniform properties in various two-dimensional periodic and quasiperiodic point patterns. Using the histogram of the two-point distances, we develop an efficient method to calculate the hyperuniformity order metric, which…
Relying on rays, we search for submodules of a module V over a supertropical semiring on which a given anisotropic quadratic form is quasilinear. Rays are classes of a certain equivalence relation on V, that carry a notion of convexity,…
Recent studies of holographic tensor network models defined on regular tessellations of hyperbolic space have not yet addressed the underlying discrete geometry of the boundary. We show that the boundary degrees of freedom naturally live on…
A lattice-based model for continuum percolation is applied to the case of randomly located, partially aligned sticks with unequal lengths in 2D which are allowed to cross each other. Results are obtained for the critical number of sticks…
In this paper, the second part of a survey of the geometric properties of defects in quasicrystals studied from the Volterra viewpoint (see ref. [1]), we show that: 1$- $ a {\sf disvection line} L$_{||} \subset \mathrm E_{||}$ of Burgers…
This paper develops geographic-style maps containing 2D lattices in all known crystals parameterised by recent complete invariants. Motivated by rigid crystal structures, lattices are considered up to rigid motion and uniform scaling. The…
We establish the existence of `time quasicrystals', tilings of the time axis with two unit cells of different duration. These aperiodic tilings can be constructed as slices through regular tilings of a space spanned by two orthogonal time…
We investigate the use of quasicrystals in image sampling. Quasicrystals produce space-filling, non-periodic point sets that are uniformly discrete and relatively dense, thereby ensuring the sample sites are evenly spread out throughout the…
The eigenstates of d-dimensional quasicrystalline models with a separable Hamiltonian are studied within the tight-binding model. The approach is based on mathematical sequences, constructed by an inflation rule P = {w -> s, s -> sws^(b-1)}…
A unified classification and analysis is presented of two dimensional Dirac operators of QCD-like theories in the continuum as well as in a naive lattice discretization. Thereby we consider the quenched theory in the strong coupling limit.…
These notes are focused on three recent results in discrete random geometry, namely: the proof by Duminil-Copin and Smirnov that the connective constant of the hexagonal lattice is \sqrt{2+\sqrt 2}; the proof by the author and Manolescu of…
Using the Palm measure notion, we prove the existence of the diffraction measure of all stationary and ergodic point processes. We get precise expressions of those measures in the case of specific processes : stochastic subsets of Z^d, sets…
In r-neighbour bootstrap percolation on a graph G, a (typically random) set A of initially 'infected' vertices spreads by infecting (at each time step) vertices with at least r already-infected neighbours. This process may be viewed as a…
We give a short proof of the fact that there are no measurable subsets of Euclidean space (in dimension d > 2), which, no matter how translated and rotated, always contain exactly one integer lattice point. In dimension d=2 (the original…
A new realization of the conformal algebra is studied which mimics the behaviour of a statistical system on a discrete albeit infinite lattice. The two-point function is found from the requirement that it transforms covariantly under this…
Spectra of suitably chosen Pisot-Vijayaraghavan numbers represent non-trivial examples of self-similar Delone point sets of finite local complexity, indispensable in quasicrystal modeling. For the case of quadratic Pisot units we…
Out of the many exciting results obtained with the lattice approach to QCD under extreme conditions, I discuss a few selected items related to chiral symmetry: the chiral condensate as an approximate order parameter, meson screening masses,…
The study of real-life network modeling has become very popular in recent years. An attractive model is the scale-free percolation model on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\ge1$, because it fulfills several stylized facts observed in large…
We numerically show that a vortex pinning occurs in superconducting quasicrystal without impurities and defects. This vortex pinning is intrinsic since the superconducting order parameter in quasicrystal is always inhomogeneous due to the…
