Graph maps that are homotopic to the identity and that permute the vertices are studied. Given a periodic point for such a map, a {\em rotation element} is defined in terms of the fundamental group. A number of results are proved about the…
We investigate one-electron properties of one-dimensional self-similar structures called limit quasi-periodic lattices. The trace map of such a lattice is nonconservative in contrast to the quasi-periodic case, and we can determine the…
In the abelian sandpile model, recurrent chip configurations are of interest as they are a natural choice of coset representatives under the quotient of the reduced Laplacian. We investigate graphs whose recurrent identities with respect to…
An element $g$ of a Lie group is called stably elliptic if it is contained in the interior of the set $G^e$ of elliptic elements, characterized by the property that $\mathrm{Ad}(g)$ generates a relatively compact subgroup. Stably elliptic…
An element $x$ of a lattice $L$ is modular if $L$ has no five-element sublattice isomorphic to the pentagon in which $x$ would correspond to the lonely midpoint. In the present work, we classify all modular elements of the lattice of all…
We study tilings of the plane composed of two repeating tiles of different assigned areas relative to an arbitrary periodic lattice. We classify isoperimetric configurations (i.e., configurations with minimal length of the interfaces) both…
We study cliques in graphs arising from quadratic forms where the vertices are the elements of the module of the quadratic form and two vertices are adjacent if their difference represents some fixed scalar. We determine structural…
We introduce a new model of a stochastic sandpile on a graph $G$ containing a sink. When unstable, a site sends one grain to each of its neighbours independently with probability $p \in (0,1]$. For $p=1$, this coincides with the standard…
We introduce a group naturally acting on aperiodic necklaces of length $n$ with two colours using the 1--1 correspondences between aperiodic necklaces and irreducible polynomials over the field $\F_2$ of two elements. We notice that this…
This paper is the first part of a study devoted to description of modular elements in the lattices of semigroup and epigroup varieties. We provide strengthened necessary and sufficient conditions under which a semigroup or epigroup variety…
Irreversible adsorption of objects of different shapes and sizes on Euclidean, fractal and random lattices is studied. The adsorption process is modeled by using random sequential adsorption (RSA) algorithm. Objects are adsorbed on one-,…
Given a poset $P$ with at least two elements and a group $G$, there exists a selfdual lattice of length 16 such that the collection of its principal congruences is order isomorphic to $P$ while its automorphism group to $G$.
We analyze the nonabelian surface holonomy on a bipartite hypercubic lattice following a proposal in arXiv:1002.4636 [hep-th]. The bipartite structure of the lattice enables us to introduce spike string configurations. These spikes play a…
The main purpose of the present paper is to establish a link between quadrature surfaces (potential theoretic concept) and sandpile dynamics (Laplacian growth models). For this aim, we introduce a new model of Laplacian growth on the…
We completely determine all semigroup varieties satysfiyng a permutational identity of length 3 that are modular elements of the lattice of all semigroup varieties. Using this result, we provide an example of a semigroup variety that is a…
We consider patterns generated by adding large number of sand grains at a single site in an abelian sandpile model with a periodic initial configuration, and relaxing. The patterns show proportionate growth. We study the robustness of these…
We compute the sandpile groups of families of planar graphs having a common weak dual by evaluating the indeterminates of the critical ideals of the weak dual at the lengths of the cycles bounding the interior faces. This method allow us to…
We study the abelian sandpile model in two dimensions on a directed cylindrical lattice with periodic transverse boundary conditions in the transverse direction and dissipation at one boundary. Recurrent configurations form a finite abelian…
For a partially ordered set P, we denote by Co(P) the lattice of order-convex subsets of P. We find three new lattice identities, (S), (U), and (B), such that the following result holds. Theorem. Let L be a lattice. Then L embeds into some…
The effects of periodic and aperiodic distortions on the structure factor and radial distribution function of single-component lattices are investigated. To this end, different kinds of distortions are applied to the otherwise perfect…
