Band structure for a crystal generally consists of connected components in energy-momentum space, known as band complexes. Here, we explore a fundamental aspect regarding the maximal number of bands that can be accommodated in a single band…

We consider inhomogeneous non-oriented Bernoulli bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, where each edge has a parameter depending on its direction. We prove that, under certain conditions, if the sum of the parameters is strictly greater than…
The existence (or not) of infinite clusters is explored for two stochastic models of intersecting line segments in $d \ge 2$ dimensions. Salient features of the phase diagram are established in each case. The models are based on site…
A classical statistical inequality is used to show that the distance covariance of two bounded random vectors is bounded from above by a simple function of the dimensionality and the bounds of the random vectors. Two special cases that…
The interplay of topology and symmetry in a material's band structure may result in various patterns of topological states of different dimensionality on the boundary of a crystal. The protection of these "higher-order" boundary states…
Let $d\geq 2$. We consider an i.i.d. supercritical bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, every edge is open with a probability $p>p_c(d)$, where $p_c(d)$ denotes the critical point. We condition on the event that $0$ belongs to the infinite…
We obtain the exact solution of the bond-percolation thresholds with inhomogenous probabilities on the square lattice. Our method is based on the duality analysis with real-space renormalization, which is a profound technique invented in…
An outerstring graph is an intersection graph of curves that lie in a common half-plane and have one endpoint on the boundary of that half-plane. We prove that the class of outerstring graphs is $\chi$-bounded, which means that their…
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are polarization singularities in momentum space whose topological charges (TCs) govern advanced light-matter interactions. While lattice symmetry protects the existence of robust BICs at the…
We prove absence of infinite clusters and contours in a class of critical constrained percolation models on the square lattice. The percolation configuration is assumed to satisfy certain hard local constraints, but only weak symmetry and…
We study site and bond percolation on directed simple random graphs with a given degree distribution and derive the expressions for the critical value of the percolation probability above which the giant strongly connected component emerges…
We consider the bond percolation model on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ ($d\ge 2$) with the constraint to be fully connected. Each edge is open with probability $p\in(0,1)$, closed with probability $1-p$ and then the process is conditioned to…
If K is an odd-dimensional flag closed manifold, flag generalized homology sphere or a more general flag weak pseudomanifold with sufficiently many vertices, then the maximal number of edges in K is achieved by the balanced join of cycles.…
We study percolation problems of overlapping objects where the underlying geometry is such that in D-dimensions, a subset of the directions has a lattice structure, while the remaining directions have a continuum structure. The resulting…
Two related issues are explored for bond percolation on the d-dimensional cubic lattice (with d > 2) and its dual plaquette process. Firstly, for what values of the parameter p does the complement of the infinite open cluster possess an…
Supermassive black holes reside in cores of galaxies, where they are often surrounded by a nuclear cluster and a clumpy torus of gas and dust. Mutual interactions can set some stars on a plunging trajectory towards the black hole. We model…
Unidirectional radiation is important for a variety of optoelectronic applications. Many unidirectional emitters exist, but they all rely on the use of materials or structures that forbid outgoing waves, i.e. mirrors. Here, we theoretically…
We consider a four-vertex model introduced by B\'{a}lint T\'{o}th: a dependent bond percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ in which every edge is present with probability 1/2 and each vertex has exactly two incident edges, perpendicular to…
