We study quasi-isometric embeddings of symmetric spaces and non-uniform irreducible lattices in semisimple higher rank Lie groups. We show that any quasi-isometric embedding between symmetric spaces of the same rank can be decomposed into a…
A non-perturbative lattice regularization of chiral fermions and bosons with anomaly-free symmetry $G$ in 1+1D spacetime is proposed. More precisely, we ask "whether there is a local short-range quantum Hamiltonian with a finite Hilbert…
A consistent formulation of a fully supersymmetric theory on the lattice has been a long standing challenge. In recent years there has been a renewed interest on this problem with different approaches. At the basis of the formulation we…
We investigate the physics of quasicrystalline models in the presence of a uniform magnetic field, focusing on the presence and construction of topological states. This is done by using the Hofstadter model but with the sites and couplings…
This paper is intended to provide an introduction to the theory of substitution tilings. For our purposes, tiling substitution rules are divided into two broad classes: geometric and combinatorial. Geometric substitution tilings include…
In quasicrystals, the phason degree of freedom and the inherent anharmonic potentials lead to complex dynamics which cannot be described by the usual phonon modes of motion. We have constructed simple one-dimensional model systems, the…
Quasi-lattices are introduced in terms of 'join' and 'meet' operations. It is observed that quasi-lattices become lattices when these operations are associative and when these operations satisfy 'modularity' conditions. A fundamental…
Aperiodic (quasicrystalline) tilings, such as Penrose's tiling, can be built up from e.g. kites and darts, squares and equilateral triangles, rhombi or shield shaped tiles and can have a variety of different symmetries. However, almost all…
The detailed atomic structure of quasicrystals has been an open question for decades. Here, we present a quasilattice-conserved optimization method (quasiOPT), with particular quasiperiodic boundary conditions. As the atomic coordinates…
We propose the theory which unifies the description of quasicrystal assembly thermodynamics and quasicrystal structure formation by combining the Landau theory of crystallization and the cluster approach to quasicrystals. The theory is…
In this paper, a technique for constructing quasiperiodic structures is suggested, which allows one by the assigned matching to restore the atoms density distribution formula of a corresponding quasicrystal. The algorithm to restore the…
We construct fixed point lattice models for group supercohomology symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases of fermions in 2+1D. A key feature of our approach is to construct finite depth circuits of local unitaries that explicitly build…
We give a simple computational approach to mathematical quasicrystals, combining cut-and-project methods with self-similarity. Starting with a Pisot unit $\beta$ and an iterated function system $g_k(z)=\beta z +z_k, \ k=1,...,m$ in a…
Recently, Branco da Silva and Silva described an efficient encoding and decoding algorithm for Construction D$^\prime$ lattices. Using their algorithm, we propose a Construction D$^\prime$ lattice based on binary quasi-cyclic low-density…
We give a construction of a self-similar tiling of the plane with any prescribed expansion coefficient $\lambda\in\C$ (satisfying the necessary algebraic condition of being a complex Perron number). For any integer $m>1$ we show that there…
The classification of topological insulators predicts the existence of high-dimensional topological phases that cannot occur in real materials, as these are limited to three or fewer spatial dimensions. We use electric circuits to…
A recursive scheme relying on decagons is used to generate Penrose-like sublattices or tilings. Its relevance for understanding structures with non-crystallographic symmetry is discussed.
We show that for every quasivariety K of structures (where both functions and relations are allowed) there is a semilattice S with operators such that the lattice of quasi-equational theories of K (the dual of the lattice of…
By a 1941 result of Ph. M. Whitman, the free lattice FL(3) on three generators includes a sublattice $S$ that is isomorphic to the lattice FL($\omega$)=FL($\aleph_0$) generated freely by denumerably many elements. The first author has…
We study higher-dimensional homological analogues of bond percolation on a square lattice and site percolation on a triangular lattice. By taking a quotient of certain infinite cell complexes by growing sublattices, we obtain finite cell…
