In this paper, we derive a Singleton bound for lattice schemes and obtain Singleton bounds known for binary codes and subspace codes as special cases. It is shown that the modular structure affects the strength of the Singleton bound. We…
Complex bases, along with direct-sums defined by rings of imaginary quadratic integers, induce algebraic lattices. In this work, we study such lattices and their reduction algorithms. Firstly, when the lattice is spanned over a two…
A combinatorial theorem on families of disjoint sub-boxes of a discrete cube, which implies that there at most $2^{d+1}-2$ neighbourly simplices in $\mathbb R^d$, is presented.
We prove that in each dimension $d$ there is a constant $w^\infty(d)\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for every $n\in \mathbb{N}$ all but finitely many $d$-polytopes with $n$ lattice points have width at most $w^\infty(d)$. We call $w^\infty(d)$…
We explore the phase diagram of the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in 5 dimensions by numerical simulations. The lattice system shows a dimensionally-reduced phase where the extra dimension is small compared to the four dimensional correlation…
A lattice formulation of a three dimensional super Yang-Mills model with a twisted N=4 supersymmetry is proposed. The extended supersymmetry algebra of all eight supercharges is fully and exactly realized on the lattice with a modified…
Corsten and Frankl conjectured that a simplex is diameter-Ramsey if and only if its circumcenter lies in its convex hull. We disprove this conjecture in every dimension $d\ge 3$. The main tool is a sufficient criterion based on a…
The coincidence site lattices (CSLs) of prominent 4-dimensional lattices are considered. CSLs in 3 dimensions have been used for decades to describe grain boundaries in crystals. Quasicrystals suggest to also look at CSLs in dimensions…
We obtain new upper bounds on the minimal density of lattice coverings of Euclidean space by dilates of a convex body K. We also obtain bounds on the probability (with respect to the natural Haar-Siegel measure on the space of lattices)…
We study flat metrics arising from right regular $n$-prisms by viewing them as $n$-differentials and analyzing their associated unfoldings. We show that the unfolding of a right regular $n$-prism is never a lattice surface unless $n=4$, in…
We propose an unconventional formulation of lattice field theories which is quite general, although originally motivated by the quest of exact lattice supersymmetry. Two long standing problems have a solution in this context: 1) Each degree…
Motivated by lattice mixture identification and grain boundary detection, we present a framework for lattice pattern representation and comparison, and propose an efficient algorithm for lattice separation. We define new scale and shape…
Lattice-free sets (convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$ without interior integer points) and their applications for cutting-plane methods in mixed-integer optimization have been studied in recent literature. Notably, the family of all integral…
This paper introduces the order-theoretic concept of lattices along with the concept of consistent quantification where lattice elements are mapped to real numbers in such a way that preserves some aspect of the order-theoretic structure.…
We consider the set of all linear combinations with integer coefficients of the vectors of a unit tight equiangular $(k,n)$ frame and are interested in the question whether this set is a lattice, that is, a discrete additive subgroup of the…
The main purpose of this note is to prove an upper bound on the number of lattice points of a centrally symmetric convex body in terms of the successive minima of the body. This bound improves on former bounds and narrows the gap towards a…
It has been shown by Soprunov that the normalized mixed volume (minus one) of an $n$-tuple of $n$-dimensional lattice polytopes is a lower bound for the number of interior lattice points in the Minkowski sum of the polytopes. He defined…
We begin with a short exposition of the theory of lattice varieties. This includes a description of their orbit structure and smooth locus. We construct a flat cover of the lattice variety and show that it is a complete intersection. We…
The stiffness exponents in the glass phase for lattice spin glasses in dimensions $d=3,...,6$ are determined. To this end, we consider bond-diluted lattices near the T=0 glass transition point $p^*$. This transition for discrete bond…
In this paper, we completely classify the isomorphism classes of certain lattices $L_A(C)$ and $L_B(C)$ from a self-orthogonal code $C$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, where $p$ is an odd prime. These lattices are obtained by…
