In this paper, we study a classical construction of lattices from number fields and obtain a series of new results about their minimum distance and other characteristics by introducing a new measure of algebraic numbers. In particular, we…
We face the problem of characterizing the periodic cases in parametric families of (real or complex) rational diffeomorphisms having a fixed point. Our approach relies on the Normal Form Theory, to obtain necessary conditions for the…
Moire lattices consist of two identical periodic structures overlaid with a relative rotation angle. Present even in everyday life, moire lattices have been also produced, e.g., with coupled graphene-hexagonal boron nitride monolayers,…
Sponges were recently proposed as a generalization of lattices, focussing on joins/meets of sets, while letting go of associativity/transitivity. In this work we provide tools for characterizing and constructing sponges on metric spaces and…
Symmetries of the periodic Toda lattice are expresssed in action-angle coordinates and characterized in terms of the periodic and Dirichlet spectrum of the associated Jacobi matrices. Using these symmetries, the phase space of the lattice…
Group lattices (Cayley digraphs) of a discrete group are in natural correspondence with differential calculi on the group. On such a differential calculus geometric structures can be introduced following general recipes of noncommutative…
We introduce a canonical operator-theoretic construction associated to a finite geometric lattice, in which a simple nonassociative ``diamond product'' on the lattice basis gives rise to a family of creation operators indexed by atoms and a…
Symmetries are known to dictate important physical properties and can be used as a design principle in particular in wave physics, including wave structures and the resulting propagation dynamics. Local symmetries, in the sense of a…
We study some properties of the lattices defined as the kernel of the map $(a_1,\ldots, a_{q-1}) \mapsto \prod (1-c_ix)^{a_i} \in (\mathbb{F}_q[x]/(x^e))^*$, where $\mathbb{F}_q^* = \{c_1,\ldots,c_{q-1}\}$.
A periodic lattice in Euclidean 3-space is the infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis vectors. Any lattice can be generated by infinitely many different bases. This ambiguity was only partially resolved, but standard…
We review both theoretical and experimental advances in the recently emerged physics of modulated photonic lattices. Artificial periodic dielectric media, such as photonic crystals and photonic lattices, provide a powerful tool for the…
Periodic orbits (equivalence classes of closed paths up to cyclic shifts) play an important role in applications of graph theory. For example, they appear in the definition of the Ihara zeta function and exact trace formulae for the spectra…
Three-dimensional lattices are fundamental to solid-state physics. The description of a lattice with an atomic basis constitutes the necessary information to predict solid phase properties and evolution. Here, we present a new algorithm for…
We present an approximation to topological spaces by {\it noncommutative} lattices. This approximation has a deep physical flavour based on the impossibility to fully localize particles in any position measurement. The original space being…
The similar sublattices of a planar lattice can be classified via its multiplier ring. The latter is the ring of rational integers in the generic case, and an order in an imaginary quadratic field otherwise. Several classes of examples are…
We define lifting properties for universal algebras, which we study in this general context and then particularize to various such properties in certain classes of algebras. Next we focus on residuated lattices, in which we investigate…
