Shift radix systems form a collection of dynamical systems depending on a parameter $\mathbf{r}$ which varies in the $d$-dimensional real vector space. They generalize well-known numeration systems such as beta-expansions, expansions with…

The ability to manipulate two-dimensional (2D) electrons with external electric fields provides a route to synthetic band engineering. By imposing artificially designed and spatially periodic superlattice (SL) potentials, 2D electronic…
Overlaying commensurate optical lattices with various configurations called superlattices can lead to exotic lattice topologies and, in turn, a discovery of novel physics. In this study, by overlapping the maxima of lattices, a new isolated…
Fractals are self-repeating patterns which have dimensions given by fractions rather than integers. While the dimension of a system unambiguously defines its properties, a fractional dimensional system can exhibit interesting properties.…
We recall the theory of linear discrete Riemann surfaces and show how to use it in order to interpret a surface embedded in R^3 as a discrete Riemann surface and compute its basis of holomorphic forms on it. We present numerical examples,…
It has recently been realized that fractals may be characterized by complex dimensions, arising from complex poles of the corresponding zeta function, and we show here that these lead to oscillatory behavior in various physical quantities.…
Molecular simulations of interfacial polar media routinely employ periodic boundary conditions parallel to the interface. We show that this lateral periodicity introduces a spatially uniform in-plane mode ($q_{\parallel}=0$) that is…
