The finite subgroups of $GL_4(\bm{Z})$ are classified up to conjugation in \cite{BBNWZ}; in particular, there exist $710$ non-conjugate finite groups in $GL_4(\bm{Z})$. Each finite group $G$ of $GL_4(\bm{Z})$ acts naturally on…
We determine the shapes of all degree $4$ number fields that are Galois. These lie in four infinite families depending on the Galois group and the tame versus wild ramification of the field. In the $V_4$ case, each family is a…
The lattices $D_4$ and $E_8$ are known to be the densest lattices in dimensions 4 and 8, respectively. In this paper, we employ tools from algebraic number theory to prove that the $D_4$-lattice arises from an infinite family of totally…
It is shown that the infinite dimensional critical surface of general euclidean lattice actions in a generic four-dimensional scalar field theory with $\Phi^4$ interactions has a domain of special multicritical points where higher…
An integral quadratic lattice is called indefinite $k$-universal if it represents all integral quadratic lattices of rank $k$ for a given positive integer $k$. For $k\geq 3$, we prove that the indefinite $k$-universal property satisfies the…
The coincidence site lattices (CSLs) of prominent 4-dimensional lattices are considered. CSLs in 3 dimensions have been used for decades to describe grain boundaries in crystals. Quasicrystals suggest to also look at CSLs in dimensions…
In this paper, we establish the explicit lower bound estimates for the rank of universal quadratic forms in some certain families of real cubic fields under the condition of density one. The more general results that represent all multiples…
The special linear group G=SL_n(Z[x1,...,xk]) (n at least 3 and k finite) is called the universal lattice. Let n be at least 4, p be any real number in (1,\infty). The main result is the following: any finite index subgroup of G has the…
We prove an explicit upper bound on the number of real quadratic fields that admit a universal quadratic form of a given rank, thus establishing a density zero statement. More generally, we obtain such a result for totally positive definite…
The prime graph of a finite group $G$, which is denoted by ${\rm GK}(G)$, is a simple graph whose vertex set is comprised of the prime divisors of $|G|$ and two distinct prime divisors $p$ and $q$ are joined by an edge if and only if there…
We present a class of lattices in R^d (d >= 2) which we call GL-lattices and conjecture that any lattice is such. This conjecture is referred to as GLC. Littlewood's conjecture amounts to saying that Z^2 is GL. We then prove existence of GL…
By Dirichlet's Unit Theorem, under the log embedding the units in the ring of integers of a number field form a lattice, called the log-unit lattice. We investigate the geometry of these lattices when the number field is a biquadratic or…
Among the nondegenerate C^4 hypersurfaces M in R^n, we characterize the rational quadrics as the hypersurfaces that are the least well approximated by rational points. Given M other than a rational quadric, we prove a heuristically sharp…
Coincidence Site Lattices (CSLs) are a well established tool in the theory of grain boundaries. For several lattices up to dimension $d=4$, the CSLs are known explicitly as well as their indices and multiplicity functions. Many of them…
The lattice definition of the two-dimensional topological quantum field theory [Fukuma, {\em et al}, Commun.~Math.~Phys.\ {\bf 161}, 157 (1994)] is generalized to arbitrary (not necessarily orientable) compact surfaces. It is shown that…
There exist numerous results in the literature proving that within certain families of totally real number fields, the minimal rank of a universal quadratic lattice over such a field can be arbitrarily large. Kala introduced a technique of…
We study a lattice point counting problem for spheres arising from the Heisenberg groups. In particular, we prove an upper bound on the number of points on and near large dilates of the unit spheres generated by the anisotropic norms…
A root lattice is a finite rank $\mathbb{Z}$-lattice generated by elements $x$ satisfying $x\cdot x=2$. It is well-known that the root lattices have an $ADE$ classification and they play a prominent role in the study of even unimodular…
This paper gives explicit formulas for the formal total mass Dirichlet series for integer-valued ternary quadratic lattices of varying determinant and fixed signature over number fields F where p = 2 splits completely. We prove this by…
When continuous fields are expanded in a wavelet basis, a D-dimensional continuum action becomes a (D+1)-dimensional lattice action on the naively discretized Poincare-patch coordinates of an Euclidean AdS(D+1). New possible criteria for…
