Dispersion relations are fundamental characteristics of the dynamics of quantum and wave systems. In this work we introduce a simple technique to generate arbitrary dispersion relations in a modulated tilted lattice. The technique is…
The aim of this paper is to formulate necessary conditions and sufficient ones for the existence of closed connected sets of nonstationary $2 \pi$-periodic solutions of $S^1$-symmetric Newtonian systems in $C_{2 \pi}([0,2\pi],\Omega) \times…
Recently, two extraordinary results on aperiodic monotiles have been obtained in two different settings. One is a family of aperiodic monotiles in the plane discovered by Smith, Myers, Kaplan and Goodman-Strauss in 2023, where rotation is…
In the present paper, as we did previously in [7], we investigate the relations between the geometric properties of tilings and the algebraic properties of associated relational structures. Our study is motivated by the existence of…
We present an alternative geometric representation for the eleven Archimedean lattices, in which each site and bond is uniquely labeled by an ordered pair of integers and characterized via a modular function. This structured labeling…
Functions whose symmetries form a crystallographic group in particular have a lattice of periods, and the set of their level curves forms a periodic pattern. We show how after projecting these functions, one obtains new functions with a…
The doorways problem considers adjacent parallel hallways of unit width each with a single doorway (aligned with integer lattice points) of unit width. It then asks, what are the properties of lines that pass through each doorway?…
Cut and project sets are obtained by projecting an irrational slice through a lattice to a lower dimensional subspace. Under standard conditions, the resulting pattern has no translational periods even though it retains some regularity of…

Archimedean lattices constitute a unique family of two-dimensional tilings formed from regular polygons arranged with uniform vertex configurations. While the kagome and snub square lattices, the simplest members of the Archimedean lattice…
We demonstrate the spontaneous formation of spatial patterns in a damped, ac-driven cubic Klein-Gordon lattice. These patterns are composed of arrays of intrinsic localized modes characteristic for nonlinear lattices. We analyze the…
The moduli stack of Deligne-Mumford stable curves of genus g admits a stratification, so that the number of nodes of the curves belonging to one stratum is constant. The irreducible components of the stratum corresponding to curves with…
Topological materials exhibit protected edge modes that have been proposed for applications in for example spintronics and quantum computation. While a number of such systems exist, it would be desirable to be able to test theoretical…
We develop the basic and new tools for classifying non-side-to-side tilings of the sphere by congruent triangles. Then we prove that, if the triangle has any irrational angle in degree, such tilings are: a sequence of 1-parameter families…
A subperiodic group is a group of motions of $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\R^d$ which contains a translation lattice $\Z^r$ of rank $r < d$ as a subgroup of finite index. A classification into abstract group isomorphism classes is…
A spline wavelets construction of class C^n(R) supported by sequences of aperiodic discretizations of R is presented. The construction is based on multiresolution analysis recently elaborated by G. Bernuau. At a given scale, we consider…
The study of geometric group theory has suggested several theorems related to subdivision tilings that have a natural hyperbolic structure. However, few examples exist. We construct subdivision tilings for the complement of every…
Crystalline topological insulators have recently become a powerful platform for realizing photonic topological states from microwaves to the visible. Appropriate geometric symmetries of the lattice are at the core of their functionality.…
If all tiles in a tiling are congruent, the tiling is called monohedral. Tiling by convex polygons is called edge-to-edge if any two convex polygons are either disjoint or share one vertex or one entire edge in common. In this paper, we…
The properties characterizing Sturmian words are considered for words on multiliteral alphabets. We summarize various generalizations of Sturmian words to multiliteral alphabets and enlarge the list of known relationships among these…
