An n-dimensional simplex \Delta in \R^n is called empty lattice simplex if \Delta \cap\Z^n is exactly the set of vertices of \Delta . A theorem of G. K. White shows that if n=3 then any empty lattice simplex \Delta \subset\R^3 is isomorphic…
We extend White's classification of empty tetrahedra to the complete classification of lattice $3$-polytopes with five lattice points, showing that, apart from infinitely many of width one, there are exactly nine equivalence classes of them…
A clean lattice tetrahedron is a non-degenerate tetrahedron with the property that the only lattice points on its boundary are its vertices. We present some new proofs of old results and some new results on clean lattice tetrahedra, with an…
In this paper, first steps are taken towards characterising lattices of cyclic flats $\mathcal{Z}(M)$ that belong to matroids $M$ that can be represented over a prescribed finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Two natural maps from $\mathcal{Z}(M)$…
We show that finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero such that the second cohomology group in every finite-dimensional module vanishes, are, essentially, semisimple.
In this paper, we will show how the Caratheodory Extension process is intimately related to the metric completion process. In particular, it will be shown how one is able to construct a lattice on the completion and to obtain an isomorphism…
We say a lattice tetrahedron whose centroid is its only non-vertex lattice point is lattice barycentric. The notation T(a,b,c) describes the lattice tetrahedron with vertices {0, e_1, e_2, a e_1 + b e_2 + c e_3}. Our result is that all such…
We introduce the multi-width of a lattice polytope and use this to classify and count all lattice tetrahedra with multi-width $(1,w_2,w_3)$. The approach used in this classification can be extended into a computer algorithm to classify…
For two-dimensional lattice equations one definition of integrability is that the model can be naturally and consistently extended to three dimensions, i.e., that it is "consistent around a cube" (CAC). As a consequence of CAC one can…
An empty simplex is a lattice simplex with only its vertices as lattice points. Their classification in dimension three was completed by White in 1964. In dimension four, the same task was started in 1988 by Mori, Morrison, and Morrison,…
Let I be a dense linear order with a left endpoint but no right endpoint. We consider the lattice L(I) of finite unions of closed intervals of I. This lattice arises naturally in the setting of o-minimality, as these are precisely the…
We show that finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero such that their high-degree cohomology in any finite-dimensional non-trivial irreducible module vanishes, are, essentially, direct sums of semisimple and…
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 well-known conjecture states that the Whitney numbers of the second kind of a geometric lattice (simple matroid) are logarithmically concave. We show this conjecture to be equivalent to proving an upper bound on the number of new copoints…
We are interested in expanding our understanding of symplectic matroids by exploring the properties of a class of symplectic matroids with a "lattice of flats". Taking a well-behaved family of subdivisions of the cross polytope we obtain a…
A simple model is presented to investigate an impact of the double occupied sites on the ground state energy of a lattice. The model is seen as a useful tool to introduce undergraduate or graduate physics students to an array of a…
This article contains the proof of a theorem on orthogonal-Pin duality that was cited without proof in a previous article in this journal.
The purpose of this paper is twofold. We explore higher property T as an abstract group-theoretic property. In particular, we provide new operator-algebraic characterizations of higher property T. Then we turn to lattices in semisimple Lie…
In this paper we develop a pure algebraic method which provides an algorithm for testing emptyness of a polyhedron.
Let K be a field of characteristic zero. Motivated by the conjecture that an enveloping algebra U(g) is Noetherian only if g is finite dimensional, we define the notion of weakly Noetherian Lie algebras. The main result, Theorem A, states…
