We study the states of one and two atoms in a rotating ring lattice in a Hubbard type tight-binding model. The model is developed carefully from basic principles in order to properly identify the physical observables. The one-particle…
Efficient heuristics have predicted many functional materials such as high-temperature superconducting hydrides, while inorganic structural chemistry explains why and how the crystal structures are stabilized. Here we develop the paired…
Unstable systems of fluidized grains in a very-narrow vertical tube can auto-defluidize after some time, the settling particles forming either a glass- or crystal-like structure. We carried out experiments using different polymer spheres,…
A multi-component electron model on a lattice is constructed whose ground state exhibits a spontaneous ordering which follows the rule of map-coloring used in the solution of the four color problem. The number of components is determined by…
A certain class of one-dimensional classical lattice models is considered. Using the method of abstract harmonic analysis explicit thermostatic properties of such models are derived. In particular, we discuss the low-temperature behavior of…
We consider lattices of regular sets of non negative integers, i.e. of sets definable in Presbuger arithmetic. We prove that if such a lattice is closed under decrement then it is also closed under many other functions: quotients by an…
We report about a mechanism for surface localization, present in finite defect-free polyatomic lattices described by a tight binding model. Numerical diagonalization and degenerated perturbation theory show that there is a minimum number of…
Amongst the various fascinating types of material behavior featured by magnetic gels and elastomers are magnetostrictive effects. That is, deformations in shape or changes in volume are induced from outside by external magnetic fields.…
Smectic liquid crystals are materials formed by stacking deformable, fluid layers. Though smectics prefer to have flat, uniformly-spaced layers, boundary conditions can impose curvature on the layers. Since the layer spacing and curvature…
Using subvarieties, which we call Demazure quiver varieties, of the quiver varieties of Nakajima, we give a geometric realization of Demazure modules of Kac-Moody algebras with symmetric Cartan data. We give a natural geometric…
A residuated lattice is defined to be integrally closed if it satisfies the equations x\x = e and x/x = e. Every integral, cancellative, or divisible residuated lattice is integrally closed, and, conversely, every bounded integrally closed…
We investigate the ground state of a one-dimensional lattice system that hosts two different kinds of excitations (species) which interact with a power-law potential. Interactions are only present between excitations of the same kind and…
A crystal lattice, when confined to the surface of a cylinder, must have a periodic structure that is commensurate with the cylinder circumference. This constraint can frustrate the system, leading to oblique crystal lattices or to…
We address the problem posed by the inhomogeneous trapping fields when using ultracold fermions to simulate strongly correlated electrons. As a starting point, we calculate the density of states for a single atom. Using semiclassical…
The topological string partition function for the neighbourhood of three spheres meeting at one point in a Calabi-Yau threefold, the so-called 'closed topological vertex', is shown to be reproduced by a simple Calabi-Yau crystal model which…
Given a partition $\lambda$ corresponding to a dominant integral weight of $\mathfrak{sl}_n$, we define the structure of crystal on the set of 5-vertex ice models satisfying certain boundary conditions associated to $\lambda$. We then show…
We introduce a class of $n$-dimensional (possibly inhomogeneous) spin-like lattice systems presenting modulated phases with possibly different textures. Such systems can be parameterized according to the number of ground states, and can be…
Due to the subtle balance of intermolecular interactions that govern structure-property relations, predicting the stability of crystal structures formed from molecular building blocks is a highly non-trivial scientific problem. A…
The structural properties of packed soft-core particles provide a platform to understand the cross-pollinated physical concepts in solid-state- and soft-matter physics. Confined on spherical surface, the traditional differential geometry…
The formation of chain-folded structures from the melt is observed in molecular dynamics simulations resembling the lamellae of polymer crystals. Crystallization and subsequent melting temperatures are related linearly to the inverse…
