Ensembles of particles rotating in a two-dimensional fluid can exhibit chaotic dynamics yet develop signatures of hidden order. Such "rotors" are found in the natural world spanning vastly disparate length scales - from the rotor proteins…
Assume that the interval $I=[0,1)$ is partitioned into finitely many intervals $I_1,\dots,I_r$ and consider a map $T\colon I\to I$ so that $T_{\vert I_s}$ is a translation for each $1 \le s \le r$. We do not assume that the images of these…
A variational lattice model is proposed to define an evolution of sets from a single point (nucleation) following a criterion of "maximization" of the perimeter. At a discrete level, the evolution has a "checkerboard" structure and its…
This article consists in two independent parts. In the first one, we investigate the geometric properties of almost periodicity of model sets (or cut-and-project sets, defined under the weakest hypotheses); in particular we show that they…
Given a microscopic lattice Hamiltonian for a topologically ordered phase, we describe a tensor network approach to characterize its emergent anyon model and, in a chiral phase, also its gapless edge theory. First, a tensor network…
We study travelling waves on a two--dimensional lattice with linear and nonlinear coupling between nearest particles and a periodic nonlinear substrate potential. Such a discrete system can model molecules adsorbed on a substrate crystal…
Nonequilibrium statistical models of point vortex systems are constructed using an optimal closure method, and these models are employed to approximate the relaxation toward equilibrium of systems governed by the two-dimensional Euler…
A Teichmuller lattice is the orbit of a point in Teichmuller space under the action of the mapping class group. We show that the proportion of lattice points in a ball of radius r which are not pseudo-Anosov tends to zero as r tends to…
From a two-agent, two-strategy congestion game where both agents apply the multiplicative weights update algorithm, we obtain a two-parameter family of maps of the unit square to itself. Interesting dynamics arise on the invariant diagonal,…
Lorentz transformations of spin density matrices for a particle with positive mass and spin 1/2 are described by maps of the kind used in open quantum dynamics. They show how the Lorentz transformations of the spin depend on the momentum.…
We consider uniformly rotating incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. We study the suppression of vertical gradients of Lagrangian displacement ("vertical" refers to the direction of the rotation axis). We employ a formalism that…
Consider the compact orbits of the $\mathbb{R}^2$ action of the diagonal group on $\operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})/\operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})$, the so-called periodic tori. For any periodic torus, the set of periods of the orbit forms…
Consider an infinite chain of masses, each connected to its nearest neighbors by a (nonlinear) spring. This is a Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou lattice. We prove the existence of traveling waves in the setting where the masses alternate in size.…
Several conditions are given when a packing of equal disks in a torus is locally maximally dense, where the torus is defined as the quotient of the plane by a two-dimensional lattice. Conjectures are presented that claim that the density of…
The exchange graph of a 2-acyclic quiver is the graph of mutation-equivalent quivers whose edges correspond to mutations. When the quiver admits a nondegenerate Jacobi-finite potential, the exchange graph admits a natural acyclic…
We prove strong statistical stability of a large class of one-dimensional maps which may have an arbitrary finite number of discontinuities and of non-degenerate critical points and/or singular points with infinite derivative, and satisfy…
Our understanding of topological insulators is based on an underlying crystalline lattice where the local electronic degrees of freedom at different sites hybridize with each other in ways that produce nontrivial band topology, and the…
The dynamics of one dimensional iterative maps in the regime of fully developed chaos is studied in detail. Motivated by the observation of dynamical structures around the unstable fixed point we introduce the geometrical concept of a…
A discrete-time totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a lattice with open boundaries is considered. There are particles of different types. The type of a particle is characterized by the probability that a particle moves to a…
Discrete nonlinear systems support a rich variety of localized and extended wave phenomena, with their dynamics sensitively dependent on the symmetries of the underlying interaction forces within the lattice. Odd elasticity, emerging in…
