We introduce and characterize extremal 2-cuts for good fractal necklaces. Using the characterization and the related topological properties of extremal 2-cuts, we prove that every good necklace has a unique necklace IFS in a certain sense.…
This study develops a comprehensive theoretical and computational framework for Random Nonlinear Iterated Function Systems (RNIFS), a generalization of classical IFS models that incorporates both nonlinearity and stochasticity. We establish…
Analysis on fractals is a growing field, with hints of potential for widespread applicability across all of STEM. One of the most heavily researched type of fractals are the nested fractals, fractal shapes defined by virtue of being made of…
Fractal geometries, characterized by self-similar patterns and non-integer dimensions, provide an intriguing platform for exploring topological phases of matter. In this work, we introduce a theoretical framework that leverages isospectral…
In \cite{LaLuRa13}, the authors completely classified the topological structure of so called {\it fractal square} $F$ defined by $F=(F+{\mathcal D})/n$, where ${\mathcal{D}}\subsetneq\{0,1,\dots,n-1\}^2, n\ge 2$. In this paper, we further…
Given an integer $n\geq 2$ and a digit set ${\mathcal D}\subsetneq {0,1,...,n-1}^2$, there is a self-similar set $F \subset {\Bbb R}^2$ satisfying the set equation: $F=(F+{\mathcal D})/n$. We call such $F$ a fractal square. By studying a…
One of the most well known random fractals is the so-called Fractal percolation set. This is defined as follows: we divide the unique cube in $\mathbb{R}^d$ into $M^d$ congruent sub-cubes. For each of these cubes a certain retention…
While self-similar sets have no tangents at any single point, self-affine curves can be smooth. We consider plane self-affine curves without double points and with two pieces. There is an open subset of parameter space for which the curve…
For fixed natural numbers $r$ and $s$, where $2\leq s \leq r$, we consider a representation of numbers from the interval $[0;\frac{r}{s-1}]$ obtained by encoding numbers by means of the alphabet $A=\{0,1,...,r\}$ via the expansion…
The concept of self-similarity on subsets of algebraic varieties is defined by considering algebraic endomorphisms of the variety as `similarity' maps. Self-similar fractals are subsets of algebraic varieties which can be written as a…
In this paper, we present an effective method to characterize completely when a disconnected fractal square has only finitely many connected components. Our method is to establish some graph structures on fractal squares to reveal the…
Fractons are gapped point-like excitations in $d=3$ topological ordered phases whose motion is constrained. They have been discovered in several gapped models but a unifying physical mechanism for generating them is still missing. It has…
We prove several versions of N. Alon's "necklace-splitting theorem", subject to additional constraints, as illustrated by the following results. (1) The "almost equicardinal necklace-splitting theorem" claims that, without increasing the…
We extend Falconer's 1988 landmark result on the dimensions of self-affine fractals to encompass the dimensions of their projections, showing furthermore that their families of exceptional projections contain algebraic varieties which are…
We exhibit a characteristic structure of the class of all regular graphs of degree d that stems from the spectra of their adjacency matrices. The structure has a fractal threadlike appearance. Points with coordinates given by the mean and…
Fractals are ubiquitous in nature, and since Mandelbrot's seminal insight into their structure, there has been growing interest in them. While the topological properties of the limit sets of IFSs have been studied -- notably in the…
We consider a special type of self-similar sets, called fractal squares, and give a brief review on recent results and unsolved issues with an emphasis on their topological properties.
We study an extreme scenario of the Mastrand projection theorem for which a fractal has the property that its orthogonal projection is the same as the orthogonal projection of its convex hull. We extend results in current literature and…
The classification of gapped phases of non-interacting fermions hinges on the tenfold symmetries and on the spatial dimension. The notion of dimension leads to a well defined demarcation between bulk and edge. Here we explore the nature of…
Perfect fractals are mathematical objects that, because they are generated by recursive processes, have self-similarity and infinite complexity. In particular, they also have a fractional dimension. Although several proposals for the study…
