We introduce a general first-principles methodology for computing electronic structure in a finite uniform magnetic field which allows for an arbitrary rational magnetic flux and nonlocal pseudopotentials, at a comparable time complexity of…

We show that periodic honeycomb networks of ballistic conducting channels generically host exact flat bands spanning the entire Brillouin zone. These flat bands are independent of microscopic vertex scattering, persist for any number of…

Nematic liquid crystals in a polyhedral domain, a prototype for bistable displays, may be described by a unit-vector field subject to tangent boundary conditions. Here we consider the case of a rectangular prism. For configurations with…

We are interested in the structure of the crystal graph of level $l$ Fock spaces representations of $\mathcal{U}_q (\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_e})$. Since the work of Shan [26], we know that this graph encodes the modular branching rule for a…

We study topological effects in an one-dimensional plasmonic crystal formed by the screened plasmons emerging in a periodically modulated graphene sheet, placed on top of a metallic substrate. To this end, we develop the theory of…

Exotic phases of matter emerge from the interplay between strong electron interactions and non-trivial topology. Owing to their lack of dispersion at the single-particle level, systems harboring flat bands are excellent testbeds for…

For any classical field configuration or mechanical system with a finite number of degrees of freedom we introduce the concept of topological spectrum. It is based upon the assumption that for any classical configuration there exists a…

We study the 4-d holomorphic Spin Foam amplitude on arbitrary connected 2-complexes and degrees of divergence. With recently developed tools and truncation scheme, we derive a formula for a certain class of graphs, which allows us to write…

We present some results on the structure of line graphs of triangle-free graphs and a homogenization of the line graph of the universal homogeneous triangle-free graph in a finite relational language with arity 4. This result is relevant to…

We analyse a recent generalised free-energy for liquid crystals posited by Virga and falling in the class of quartic functionals in the spatial gradients of the nematic director. We review some known interesting solutions, i. e., uniform…

We realize the crystal associated to the quantized enveloping algebras with a symmetric generalized Cartan matrix as a set of Lagrangian subvarieties of the cotangent bundle of the quiver variety. As a by-product, we give a counterexample…

We derive a hierarchy of plate theories for heterogeneous multilayers from three dimensional nonlinear elasticity by means of $\Gamma$-convergence. We allow for layers composed of different materials whose constitutive assumptions may vary…

We study the ground states of cold atoms in the tight-binding bands built from p-orbitals on a two dimensional honeycomb optical lattice. The band structure includes two completely flat bands. Exact many-body ground states with on-site…

We construct conforming finite element elasticity complexes on Worsey-Farin splits in three dimensions. Spaces for displacement, strain, stress, and the load are connected in the elasticity complex through the differential operators…

We construct 2D and 3D finite element de Rham sequences of arbitrary polynomial degrees with extra smoothness. Some of these elements have nodal degrees of freedom (DoFs) and can be considered as generalisations of scalar Hermite and…

In this study, we have comprehensively investigated the scaling law for elastic properties of three-dimensional honeycomb-like graphenes (3D-graphenes) using hybrid neural network potential based molecular dynamics simulations and…

The diffraction spectrum of an aperiodic solid is related to the group of eigenvalues of the dynamical system associated with the solid. Those eigenvalues with continuous eigenfunctions constitute the topological Bragg spectrum. We relate…

Certain lattice wave systems in translationally invariant settings have one or more spectral bands that are strictly flat or independent of momentum in the tight binding approximation, arising from either internal symmetries or fine-tuned…

When two topologically trivial and nontrivial systems are brought together, a localized energy state is formed at the interface. For crystalline quantum and classical systems, their topology can be determined by studying the eigenmode…

We extend a recent argument of Kahn, Narayanan and Park (Proceedings of the AMS, to appear) about the threshold for the appearance of the square of a Hamilton cycle to other spanning structures. In particular, for any spanning graph, we…
