Finite simplex lattice models are used in different branches of science, e.g., in condensed matter physics, when studying frustrated magnetic systems and non-Hermitian localization phenomena; or in chemistry, when describing experiments…
It was proved by Nill that for any lattice simplex of dimension $d$ with degree $s$ which is not a lattice pyramid, the inequality $d+1 \leq 4s-1$ holds. In this paper, we give a complete characterization of lattice simplices satisfying the…
By a 1997 result of R. Freese, an $n$-element lattice has at most $2^{n-1}$ congruences. This motivates us to define the congruence density cd$(L)$ of a finite $n$-element lattice as $|$Con$(L)|/2^{n-1}$, where $|$Con$(L)|$ is the number of…
We show that the homological finiteness length of a non-uniform lattice on a locally finite CAT(0) n-dimensional polyhedral complex is less than n. As a corollary, we obtain an upper bound for the homological finiteness length of arithmetic…
Among integral polytopes (vertices with integral coordinates), lattice-free polytopes - intersecting the lattice ONLY at their vertices- are of particular interestin combinatorics and geometry of numbers. A natural question is to measure…
A new lower bound on the average reconstruction error variance of multidimensional sampling and reconstruction is presented. It applies to sampling on arbitrary lattices in arbitrary dimensions, assuming a stochastic process with constant,…
Let $H_n$ be the minimal number such that any $n$-dimensional convex body can be covered by $H_n$ translates of interior of that body. Similarly $H_n^s$ is the corresponding quantity for symmetric bodies. It is possible to define $H_n$ and…
We show that the number of conjugacy classes of maximal finite subgroups of a lattice in a semisimple Lie group is linearly bounded by the covolume of the lattice. Moreover, for higher rank groups, we show that this number grows sublinearly…
The main problem considered in this paper is construction and theoretical study of efficient $n$-point coverings of a $d$-dimensional cube $[-1,1]^d$. Targeted values of $d$ are between 5 and 50; $n$ can be in hundreds or thousands and the…
We obtain lower bound for the maximum distance between any three distinct points in an affine lattice which are close to a helix with small curvature and torsion.
In this paper we discuss combinatorial questions about lattice polytopes motivated by recent results on minimum distance estimation for toric codes. We also prove a new inductive bound for the minimum distance of generalized toric codes. As…
We present a method to obtain upper bounds on covering numbers. As applications of this method, we reprove and generalize results of Rogers on economically covering Euclidean $n$-space with translates of a convex body, or more generally,…
In this paper, we present the first nontrivial lower bound on the translative covering density of tetrahedra. To this end, we show the lower bound, in any translative covering of tetrahedra, on the density relative to a given cube. The…
In many areas of research it is interesting how lattices can be filled with particles that have no nearest neighbors, or they are in limited quantities. Examples may be found in statistical physics, chemistry, materials science, discrete…
Glass-forming liquids have been extensively studied in recent decades, but there is still no theory that fully describes these systems, and the diversity of treatments is in itself a barrier to understanding. Here we introduce a new simple…
We construct a hollow lattice polytope (resp. a hollow lattice simplex) of dimension $14$ (resp.$~404$) and of width $15$ (resp.$~408$). They are the first known hollow lattice polytopes of width larger than dimension. We also construct a…
