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…
Computational methods that automatically extract knowledge from data are critical for enabling data-driven materials science. A reliable identification of lattice symmetry is a crucial first step for materials characterization and…
Recently, Hang Liu and Hourong Qin came up with a numerical observation about the relation between the Mahler measures of one hyperelliptic and two elliptic families. The discoverers foresee a proof of the identities "by extending ideas in"…
Geometric Langlands duality can be understood from statements of mirror symmetry that can be formulated in purely topological terms for an oriented two-manifold $C$. But understanding these statements is extremely difficult without picking…
We prove, e.g., that if lambda=chi^+=2^chi and S subseteq {delta<lambda:cf(delta) neq cf(chi)} is stationary then diamondsuit_lambda holds true.
We introduce a new class of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric complex crystals which are almost transparent and one-way reflectionless over a broad frequency range around the Bragg frequency, i.e. unidirectionally invisible, regardless of the…
Finding an optimal match between two different crystal structures underpins many important materials science problems, including describing solid-solid phase transitions, developing models for interface and grain boundary structures. In…
A planar (upper) semimodular lattice $L$ is slim if the five-element nondistributive modular lattice $M_3$ does not occur among its sublattices. (Planar lattices are finite by definition.) Slim rectangular lattices as particular slim planar…
It is known that there is a duality between the Davey--Stewartson type coupled systems and a class of integrable two--dimensional Toda type lattices. More precisely, the coupled systems are generalized symmetries for the lattices and the…
Dirac-like cones, featuring conical linear dispersions intersecting with flat bands, typically arise from accidental degeneracy of multiple modes that requires precise tuning of material and structural parameters, inherently limiting their…
One of the greatest challenges facing our society is the discovery of new innovative crystal materials with specific properties. Recently, the problem of generating crystal materials has received increasing attention, however, it remains…
Twisting and stacking two copies of a 2D crystal can produce a long-wavelength periodic interference pattern known as a moir\'e pattern. Performing the same procedure with an aperiodic structure instead generates a single moir\'e spot at…
A recent theorem of [GGSM1] showed that adjoint orbits of semisimple Lie algebras have the structure of symplectic Lefschetz fibrations. We investigate the behaviour of their fibrewise compactifications. Expressing adjoint orbits and fibres…
Recently various 2D AKLT models have been shown to be gapped, including the one on the hexagonal lattice. Here we report on a non-trivial 3D AKLT model which consists of spin-2 entities on the diamond lattice sites and one single spin-1…
The main goal of this paper is to find the discrete analogue of the Bianchi system in spaces of arbitrary dimesion together with its geometric interpretation. We show that the proper geometric framework of such generalization is the…
We map certain highly correlated electron systems on lattices with geometrical frustration in the motion of added particles or holes to the spatial defect-defect correlations of dimer models in different geometries. These models are studied…
The equilibrium shape of crystals is a fundamental property of both aesthetic appeal and practical import. It is also a visible macro-manifestation of the underlying atomic-scale forces and chemical makeup, most conspicuous in…
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exist in two polymorphs, referred to as $1T$ and $1H$, depending on the coordination sphere of the transition metal atom. The broken octahedral and trigonal prismatic symmetries lead…
We demonstrate several explicit duality mappings between elasticity of two-dimensional crystals and fracton tensor gauge theories, expanding on recent works by two of the present authors. We begin by dualizing the quantum elasticity theory…
This paper focuses on semilattices with adjunctions (SLatas), which are semilattices with a greatest element enriched with a pair of adjoint maps. We develop a spectral-style duality for SLatas, building on prior topological dualities for…
