A new method to construct quasicrystalline lattices is proposed. It is based on Landau crystallization theory. Like well-known cut and projection methods our approach deals with N dimensional crystallography, but we don't need any…
We investigate Grothendieck rings appearing in real geometry, notably for arc-symmetric sets, and focus on the relative case in analogy with the properties of the ring of algebraically constructible functions defined by McCrory and…
Topological properties of crystals and quasicrystals is a subject of recent and growing interest. This Letter reports an experiment where, for certain quasicrystals, these properties can be directly retrieved from diffraction. We directly…
In this paper we continue the study of dilatation structures, introduced in math.MG/0608536 . A dilatation structure on a metric space is a kind of enhanced self-similarity. By way of examples this is explained here with the help of the…
It is shown how root lattices and their reciprocals might serve as the right pool for the construction of quasicrystalline structure models. All non-periodic symmetries observed so far are covered in minimal embedding with maximal symmetry.
This introductory survey deals with mathematical and physical properties of discrete structures such as point sets and tilings. The emphasis is on proper generalizations of concepts and ideas from classical crystallography. In particular,…
We define symmetric spaces in arbitrary dimension and over arbitrary non-discrete topological fields $\K$, and we construct manifolds and symmetric spaces associated to topological continuous quasi-inverse Jordan pairs and -triple systems.…
The second part of the paper is devoted to enumeration of $r$-regular toroidal maps up to all homeomorphisms of the torus (unsensed maps). We describe in detail the periodic orientation reversing homeomorphisms of the torus which turn out…
Polytopes are the basic finite data structures for convex sets: they appear as feasible regions in linear optimization, as geometric summaries in algorithms, and as random objects in stochastic geometry. A natural geometric question is…
The numerical range of a matrix is studied geometrically via the cone of positive semidefinite matrices (or semidefinite cone for short). In particular it is shown that the feasible set of a two-dimensional linear matrix inequality (LMI),…

This paper revisits the notion of classical orthogonal polynomials from a broader functional-analytic point of view. It is intended neither as a survey of known results nor as a review of the literature, but rather as a conceptual…
We review recent developments in differential topology with special concern for their possible significance to physical theories, especially general relativity. In particular we are concerned here with the discovery of the existence of…
We study metrics that assess how close a triangulation is to being a Delaunay triangulation, for use in contexts where a good triangulation is desired but constraints (e.g., maximum degree) prevent the use of the Delaunay triangulation…
We construct infinitesimal deformations on an open domain of a smooth projective surface given by a complement of plumbings of disjoint linear chains of smooth rational curves. We show that the infinitesimal deformations are not small…
Some aspects of analysis on disconnected open subsets of the plane with connected fractal boundary are discussed.
We consider circle packings and, more generally, Delaunay circle patterns - arrangements of circles arising from a Delaunay decomposition of a finite set of points - on surfaces equipped with a complex projective structure. Motivated by a…
Based on a novel discretization procedure which has recently been proposed and applied in the construction of a canonical discrete analogue of confocal coordinate systems, an explicit method of constructing discrete analogues of ellipsoids…
We introduce residuated ortholattices as a generalization of -- and environment for the investigation of -- orthomodular lattices. We establish a number of basic algebraic facts regarding these structures, characterize orthomodular lattices…
A discretisation scheme that preserves topological features of a physical problem is extended so that differential geometric structures can be approximated in a consistent way thus giving access to the study of physical systems which are…
