We study the dynamics of synthetic molecules whose architectures are generated by space transformations from a point group acting on seed resonators. We show that the dynamical matrix of any such molecule can be reproduced as the left…
Here are versions of the proofs of two classic theorems of combinatorial topology. The first is the result that piecewise linearly homeomorphic simplicial complexes are related by stellar moves. This is used in the proof, modelled on that…

We combine a conventional harmonic analysis of vibrations in a one-atomic model glass of soft spheres with a Voronoi-Delaunay geometrical analysis of the structure. ``Structure potentials'' (tetragonality, sphericity or perfectness) are…
The research group from the Rostov State University has been developing the theory of bushes of nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) in Hamiltonian systems with discrete symmetry since the late 90s of the last century. Group-theoretical methods…
We consider the general model for dynamical systems defined on a simplicial complex. We describe the conjugacy classes of these systems and show how symmetries in a given simplicial complex manifest in the dynamics defined thereon,…
This study is on small oscillations of a heavy symmetric top. A different method than previous works is applied, and differently from previous works, the explicit formulas for the amplitudes for oscillations are given. This method can be…
We show that quasi localized low-frequency modes in the vibrational spectrum can be used to construct soft spots, or regions vulnerable to rearrangement, which serve as a universal tool for the identification of flow defects in solids. We…
Denote the alternating and symmetric groups of degree $n$ by $A_n$ and $S_n$ respectively. Consider a permutation $\sigma\in S_n$ all of whose nontrivial cycles are of the same length. We find the minimal polynomials of $\sigma$ in the…
Working in univalent foundations, we investigate the symmetries of spheres, i.e., the types of the form $\mathbb{S}^n = \mathbb{S}^n$. The case of the circle has a slick answer: the symmetries of the circle form two copies of the circle.…
We propose an alternative to the usual time--independent Born--Oppenheimer approximation that is specifically designed to describe molecules with symmetrical Hydrogen bonds. In our approach, the masses of the Hydrogen nuclei are scaled…
The detection of vibrational excitations of individual molecules on surfaces by scanning tunneling spectroscopy does not obey strict selection rules but rather propensity rules. The experimental verification of these is challenging because…
The behavior of polyatomic molecules around their equilibrium positions can be regarded as quantum coupled anharmonic oscillators. Solving the corresponding Schr\"odinger equations can interpret or predict experimental spectra of molecules.…

In addition to shape oscillations, low-energy excitation spectra of deformed nuclei are also influenced by pairing vibrations. The simultaneous description of these collective modes and their coupling has been a long-standing problem in…
