In this work, we provide the first example of an infinite family of branch groups in the class of non-contracting self-similar groups. We show that these groups are very strongly fractal, not regular branch, and of exponential growth.…
The interstellar medium is structured as a hierachy of gas clouds, that looks self-similar over 6 orders of magnitude in scales and 9 in masses. This is one of the more extended fractal in the Universe. At even larger scales, the ensemble…
We establish a number of results about smooth and topological concordance of knots in $S^1\times S^2$. The winding number of a knot in $S^1\times S^2$ is defined to be its class in $H_1(S^1\times S^2;\mathbb{Z})\cong \mathbb{Z}$. We show…
Novikov's problem of semiclassical orbits of quasi-electrons in a normal metal leads to a correspondance between 3-ply periodic functions in R and fractals in R P^2. These fractals are the complement of infinitely many open sets labeled by…
Fractal structure of the six-vertex model is introduced with the use of the IFS (Iterated Function Systems). The fractal dimension satisfies an equation written by the free energy of the six-vertex model. It is pointed out that the transfer…
We provide a simple proof that graphs in a general class of self-similar networks have zero percolation threshold. The considered self-similar networks include random scale-free graphs with given expected node degrees and zero clustering,…
We consider the binary fragmentation problem in which, at any breakup event, one of the daughter segments either survives with probability $p$ or disappears with probability $1\!-\!p$. It describes a stochastic dyadic Cantor set that…
We consider theories of fractons with $N$ fields. These theories have exotic spacetime symmetries, including a conserved dipole moment. Using collective fields we solve these models to leading order in large $N$. The large $N$ solution…
We report the presence of multiple flat bands in a class of two-dimensional (2D) lattices formed by Sierpinski gasket (SPG) fractal geometries as the basic unit cells. Solving the tight-binding Hamiltonian for such lattices with different…
We exploit dynamical properties of diagonal actions to derive results in Diophantine approximations. In particular, we prove that the continued fraction expansion of almost any point on the middle third Cantor set (with respect to the…
We show that a fractal cube $F$ in $\mathbb R^3$ may have an uncountable set $Q$ of connected components $K_\alpha$ neither of which is contained in any plane, whereas the set $Q$ is a totally disconnected self-similar subset of the…
This is a study of fusion ring automorphisms leaving only the trivial element fixed. We prove that a variety of classical results on fixed-point-free automorphisms of finite groups are true in the generality of fusion rings. As a result, we…
It is known that Laplacian operators on many fractals have gaps in their spectra. This fact precludes the possibility that a Weyl-type ratio can have a limit and is also a key ingredient in proving that the Fourier series on such fractals…
The first and last named authors have demonstrated the existence of knots for which every integral slope is non-characterizing. In this short note, we extend this result in two ways. There exists a knot that shares for every integer n the…
We find that the fractal scaling in a class of scale-free networks originates from the underlying tree structure called skeleton, a special type of spanning tree based on the edge betweenness centrality. The fractal skeleton has the…
We show various criteria to verify if a given nested fractal has a good labeling property, inter alia we present a characterization of GLP for fractals with an odd number of essential fixed points. We show a convenient reduction of area to…
We prove that every Peano continuum with uncountably many local cut points is a topological fractal. This extends some recent results and it partially answers a conjecture by Hata. We also discuss the number of mappings which are necessary…
By considering a Moran-type construction of fractals on $[0,1]$, we show that for any $0\le s\le 1$, there exists some Moran fractal set, which is perfect, with Hausdorff dimension $s$ whose Fourier dimension is zero and it contains…
The visible problem is related to the arithmetic on the fractals. The visibility of self-similar set has been studied in the past. In this work, we investigate the visibility of non-self-similar sets. We begin by analyzing the structure of…
Fractal is an intriguing geometry with self-similarity and non-integer dimensions, the elastic-wave topological phase based on fractal structures has not been revealed up to now. In this work, elastic-wave higher-order topological states in…
