We propose an electric-magnetic symmetry group in non-abelian gauge theory, which we call the skeleton group. We work in the context of non-abelian unbroken gauge symmetry, and provide evidence for our proposal by relating the…

We introduce a notion of continuous crystal analogous, for general Coxeter groups, to the combinatorial crystals introduced by Kashiwara in representation theory of Lie algebras. We use a generalization of the Littelmann path model to show…

We consider a generic configuration of regions, consisting of a collection of distinct compact regions $\{\Omega_i\}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ which may be either smooth regions disjoint from the others or regions which meet on their piecewise…

Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series and metaplectic Whittaker functions can be described in terms of crystal graphs. We present crystals as parameterized by Littelmann patterns and we give a survey of purely combinatorial constructions of…

As in many other fields, the rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence is reshaping materials discovery by offering new ways to propose crystal structures and, in some cases, even predict desired properties. This review provides a…

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted growing attention for their exceptional mechanical and thermal properties arising from complex atomic configurations. In this paper, we propose crystal fractional graph neural network for predicting…

The formalism to compute the geometrical and topological one-point statistics of mildly non-Gaussian 2D and 3D cosmological fields is developed. Leveraging the isotropy of the target statistics, the Gram-Charlier expansion is reformulated…

Known symmetry groups are insufficient to describe the various couplings among spin, charge, and spatial degrees of freedom in fermionic systems. To address this problem, we introduce spin-charge groups (SCGs), which provide a unified…

The exploration of solid-solid phase transition suffers from the uncertainty of how atoms in two crystal structures match. We devised a theoretical framework to describe and classify crystal-structure matches (CSM). Such description fully…

This paper shows how beginning with Justus Grassmann's work, Hermann Grassmann was influenced in his mathematical thinking by crystallography. H. Grassmann's Ausdehnungslehre in turn had a decisive influence on W.K. Clifford in the genesis…
