The theory of aperiodic order is concerned with the development of ideas stimulated by the discovery of quasicrystals. We give a gentle introduction to some mathematical aspects of aperiodic order, aimed at a more general audience.
A function is called quasiperiodic if its fundamental frequencies are linearly independent over the rationals. With appropriate parameters, the sliding window point clouds of such functions can be shown to be dense in tori with dimension…
Aperiodic order refers to the mathematical formalisation of quasicrystals. Substitutions and cut and project sets are among their main actors; they also play a key role in the study of dynamical systems, whether they are symbolic, generated…
We prove that the composition of a quasi-nearly subharmonic function and a quasiregular mappings of bounded multiplicity is quasi-nearly subharmonic. Also, we prove that if $u\circ f$ is quasi-nearly subharmonic for all quasi-nearly…
Periodic disturbances composed of harmonics typically occur during periodic operations, impairing performance of mechanical and electrical systems. To improve the performance, control of periodic-disturbance suppression has been studied,…
We develop a method to design tunable quasiperiodic structures of particles suspended in a fluid by controlling standing acoustic waves. One application of our results is to ultrasound directed self-assembly, which allows fabricating…
Perturbation theory, the quasiclassical approximation and the quantum surface of section method are combined for the first time. This gives a new solution of the the long standing problem of quantizing the resonances generically appearing…
Perturbation theory, the quasiclassical approximation and the quantum surface of section method are combined for the first time. This solves the long standing problem of quantizing the resonances and chaotic regions generically appearing in…
We make some general observations about partial orders on quotient spaces, and explore their use in music theory, in two different contexts. In the first, we show that many of the most familiar chord and scale types in Western music appear…
Periodic approximations of quasicrystals are a powerful tool in analyzing spectra of Schr\"odinger operators arising from quasicrystals, given the known theory for periodic crystals. Namely, we seek periodic operators whose spectra…
An infinite word x is said to be quasiperiodic if there exists a finite word q such that x is covered by occurrences of q (such a q is called a quasiperiod of x). Using the notion of derivation, we show that this definition is not…
In this work we prove a Strichartz estimate for the Schr\"odinger equation in the quasiperiodic setting. We also show a lower bound on the number of resonant frequency interactions in this situation.
The description of almost periodic or quasiperiodic structures has a long tradition in mathematical physics, in particular since the discovery of quasicrystals in the early 80's. Frequently, the modelling of such structures leads to…
Periodic configurations have dominated the design of phononic and elastic-acoustic metamaterial structures for the past decades. Unlike periodic crystals, quasicrystals lack translational symmetry but are unrestricted in rotational…
This paper serves as an extended road map for our long-term project "Mixed Random-quasiperiodic Cocycles" [arXiv:2201.04745, arXiv:2109.09544, arXiv:2210.16908, 6, 7] with Pedro Duarte and Silvius Klein. Despite exhibiting totally different…
The concept of quasiresonance was introduced in connection with inelastic collisions between one atom and a vibro-rotationally excited diatomic molecule. In its original form, the collisions induce {\sl quasiresonant} transfer of energy…
We prove that almost periodicity in the sense of distributions coincides with almost periodicity with respect to Stepanov's metric for the class of subharmonic functions in a horizontal strip. We also prove that Fourier coefficients of…
We consider a class of ordinary differential equations describing one-dimensional systems with a quasi-periodic forcing term and in the presence of large damping. We discuss the conditions to be assumed on the mechanical force and the…
We demonstrate that quasiperiodicity can radically change the ground state properties of 1D moir\'e systems with respect to their periodic counterparts. By studying an illustrative example we show that while narrow bands play a significant…
This paper continues our study of quasicrystals initiated in Part I. We propose a general mechanism for constructing quasicrystals, existing globally in time, in spatially-extended systems (partial differential equations with Euclidean…
