Self-concordance is the most important property required for barriers in convex programming. It is intrinsically linked to the affine structure of the underlying space. Here we introduce an alternative notion of self-concordance which is…
In the field of radial basis functions mathematicians have been endeavouring to find infinitely differentiable and compactly supported radial functions. This kind of functions are extremely important for some reasons. First, its…
We revisit the Jordan-Wigner transformation, showing that --rather than a non-local isomorphism between different fermionic and spin Hamiltonian operators-- it can be viewed in terms of local identities relating different realizations of…
An algebra of bounded linear operators on a Banach space is said to be {\em strongly compact} if its unit ball is precompact in the strong operator topology, and a bounded linear operator on a Banach space is said to be {\em strongly…
We present a semi-automated method for obtaining an initial estimate of Wannier functions, designed to facilitate the construction of Wannier functions for describing low-energy effective models of solids, particularly those relevant to…
A Chern band is characterized by a Wannier obstruction indicating the absence of a basis of complete, orthogonal, and exponentially-localized states. Here, we study the properties of real space bases of a Chern band obtained by relaxing…
We provide a mathematically proven, simple and efficient algorithm to build localised Wannier functions, with the only requirement that the system has vanishing Chern numbers. Our algorithm is able to build localised Wannier for topological…
Projected branes are constituted by only a small subset of sites of a higher-dimensional crystal, otherwise placed on a hyperplane oriented at an irrational or a rational slope therein, for which the effective Hamiltonian is constructed by…
With the aim of understanding the localization topology correspondence for non periodic gapped quantum systems, we investigate the relation between the existence of an algebraically well-localized generalized Wannier basis and the…
Based on ab initio software packages using nonorthogonal localized orbitals, we develop a general scheme of calculating response functions. We test the performance of this method by calculating nonlinear optical responses of materials, like…
Intrinsic projector calibration is essential in projection mapping (PM) applications, especially in dynamic PM. However, due to the shallow depth-of-field (DOF) of a projector, more work is needed to ensure accurate calibration. We aim to…
Let $S_n f$ be the $n$th partial sum of the Fourier series of a function $f$ in $L^1(\D)$, where $\D$ is the ring of integers of a local field $K$. For $1<p<\infty$, we characterize all weight functions $w$ so that the partial sum operators…
We propose a new system to visualize depth-dependent patterns and images on solid objects with complex geometry using multiple projectors. The system, despite consisting of conventional passive LCD projectors, is able to project different…
The electronic ground state of a periodic crystalline solid is usually described in terms of extended Bloch orbitals; localized Wannier functions can alternatively be used. These two representations are connected by families of unitary…
We introduce a Wannier-type formulation of periodic local vibrational mode theory that yields real-space-localized vibrational modes associated with individual internal coordinates in crystalline solids. These modes are constructed as…
Tight-binding models can accurately replicate the band structure and topology of crystalline systems. They have been widely used in solid-state physics due to their versatility and low computational cost. It is straightforward to build an…
We give a geometric condition on a compact subset of a complex manifold which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a smooth strictly plurisubharmonic function defined in a neighbourhood of this set.
We construct a projection operator on an unbounded worm domain which maps subspaces of $W^s$ to themselves. The subspaces are determined by a Fourier decomposition of $W^s$ according to a rotational invariance of the worm domain.
We establish a first-principles theory of vacuum Wannier functions unifying tight-binding and nearly-free-electron descriptions across solid-vacuum interfaces. Analytic solutions for canonical Wannier functions in arbitrary dimension and…
For a large class of metric spaces with nice local structure, which includes Banach-Finsler manifolds and geodesic spaces of curvature bounded above, we give sufficient conditions for a local homeomorphism to be a covering projection. We…
