This work presents the tessellations and polytopes from the perspective of both n-dimensional geometry and abstract symmetry groups. It starts with a brief introduction to the terminology and a short motivation. In the first part, it…

In this note on coarse geometry we revisit coarse homotopy. We prove that coarse homotopy indeed is an equivalence relation, and this in the most general context of abstract coarse structures. We introduce (in a geometric way) coarse…

Chirality, or handedness, is a geometrical property denoting a lack of mirror symmetry. Chirality is ubiquitous in nature and is associated with the non-reciprocal interactions observed in complex systems ranging from biomolecules to…

It has been shown that the edge structure of the characteristic imset polytope is closely connected to the question of causal discovery. The diameter of a polytope is an indicator of how connected the polytope is and moreover gives us a…

Coarse geometry is the study of large-scale properties of spaces. In this paper we study group coarse structures (i.e., coarse structures on groups that agree with the algebraic structures), by using group ideals. We introduce a large class…

The present work investigates regular, semiregular, and chiral polytopes of any rank $d\geq 3$, whose automorphism groups are 2-groups. There is a large variety of rather small finite regular or alternating semiregular polytopes with…

We consider a model for periodic patterns of charges constrained over a cylindrical surface. In particular we focus on patterns of chiral helices, achiral rings or vertical lamellae, with the constraint of global electroneutrality. We study…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ acts on a smooth complex variety $X$. Then this action lifts to the Chiral de Rham Complex of $X$ and to its cohomology by automorphisms of the vertex algebra structure. We define twisted sectors for the…

Coincidences of maps between smooth manifolds are studied via a geometric approach which involves (nonstabilized) normal bordism theory and pathspaces.

Chirality plays an important role in physics, chemistry, biology, and other fields. It describes an essential symmetry in structure. However, chirality invariants are usually complicated in expression or difficult to evaluate. In this…

We demonstrate a construction method based on a gain function that is defined on the incidence graph of an incidence geometry. Restricting to when the incidence geometry is a linear space, we show that the construction yields a generalized…

Systems as diverse as mechanical structures assembled from elastic components, and photonic metamaterials enjoy a common geometrical feature: a sublattice symmetry. This property realizes a chiral symmetry first introduced to characterize a…

We expand the structural theory of \ca graphs that avoid specific cyclic coset patterns. We present several characterisations of tree-likeness for these structures and show a close connection to $\alpha$-acyclic hypergraphs. A focus lies on…

Topology, a well-established concept in mathematics, has nowadays become essential to describe condensed matter. At its core are chiral electron states on the bulk, surfaces and edges of the condensed matter systems, in which spin and…

Generalised contact structures are studied from the point of view of reduced generalised complex structures, naturally incorporating non-coorientable structures as non-trivial fibering. The infinitesimal symmetries are described in detail,…

In this monograph we lay the foundation for a theory of coarse groups and coarse actions. Coarse groups are group objects in the category of coarse spaces, and can be thought of as sets with operations that satisfy the group axioms "up to…

Chirality refers to the asymmetry of objects that cannot be superimposed on their mirror image. It is a concept that exists in various scientific fields and has profound consequences. Although these are perhaps most widely recognized within…
