A smooth path of rearrangement from the body-centered cubic (bcc) to the face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice is obtained by introducing a single parameter to cuboidal lattice vectors. As a result, we obtain analytical expressions in terms of…
We give a status report of our work on light cone Hamiltonian lattice QCD. We have derived an effective Hamiltonian $H_{eff}$ which is only quadratic in the momenta and therefore can be simulated by standard methods. For this Hamiltonian we…
We investigate the zeros of Epstein zeta functions associated with a positive definite quadratic form with rational coefficients. Davenport and Heilbronn, and also Voronin, proved the existence of zeros of Epstein zeta functions off the…
The theta series of a lattice is a power series that characterizes the number of lattice vectors at certain norms. It is closely related to a critical quantity widely used in physical layer security and cryptography, known as the flatness…
We consider the problem of covering $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with a finite number of sublattices of finite index, satisfying a simple minimality or non-degeneracy condition. We show how this problem may be viewed as a projective (or homogeneous)…
We study minimal-doubling fermion actions on hyperdiamond and deformed hyperdiamond lattices, with emphasis on the real-space construction of them and Lorentz covariance of excitations from fermion poles. We propose the improved spatial…
We study energy minimization for pair potentials among periodic sets in Euclidean spaces. We derive some sufficient conditions under which a point lattice locally minimizes the energy associated to a large class of potential functions. This…
We prove several estimates for the volume, mean width, and the value of the Wills functional of sections of convex bodies in John's position, as well as for their polar bodies. These estimates extend some well-known results for convex…
A detailed combinatorial analysis of planar lattice convex polygonal lines is presented. This makes it possible to answer an open question of Vershik regarding the existence of a limit shape when the number of vertices is constrained. The…
We show that the Coxeter-sortable elements in a finite Coxeter group W are the minimal congruence-class representatives of a lattice congruence of the weak order on W. We identify this congruence as the Cambrian congruence on W, so that the…
A classic theorem of Kazhdan and Margulis states that for any semisimple Lie group without compact factors, there is a positive lower bound on the covolume of lattices. H. C. Wang's subsequent quantitative analysis showed that the…
We prove some uniqueness results for conics of minimal area that enclose a compact, full-dimensional subset of the elliptic plane. The minimal enclosing conic is unique if its center or axes are prescribed. Moreover, we provide sufficient…
We define and study semilattices and lattices for $E$-closed families of theories. Properties of these semilattices and lattices are investigated. It is shown that lattices for families of theories with least generating sets are…
While studying some properties of linear operators in a Euclidean Jordan algebra, Gowda, Sznajder and Tao have introduced generalized lattice operations based on the projection onto the cone of squares. In two recent papers of the authors…
The aim of this note is to give a geometric proof for classical local rigidity of lattices in semisimple Lie groups. We are reproving well known results in a more geometric (and hopefully clearer) way.
A sublattice of the three-dimensional integer lattice $\mathbb Z^3$ is called cubic sublattice if there exists a basis of the sublattice whose elements are pairwise orthogonal and of equal lengths. We show that for an integer vector…
In 1970, based on newly available empiric evidence, a remarkable monotonicity property for $| \zeta(z) |$ was conjectured by R. Spira. The $\zeta$-monotonicity property can be written as follows: $$ | \zeta (x_2 + y i ) | < | \zeta \left (…
For the minimal graph with strict convex level sets, we find an auxiliary function to study the Gaussian curvature of the level sets. We prove that this curvature function is a concave function with respect to the height of the minimal…
We consider minimal, aperiodic symbolic subshifts and show how to characterize the combinatorial property of bounded powers by means of a metric property. For this purpose we construct a family of graphs which all approximate the subshift…
We prove the normal subgroup property for every group that acts properly and cocompactly on a two-dimensional Euclidean building: every normal subgroup has finite index or is contained in the finite kernel of the action. As a consequence,…
