We use the mathematical structure of group algebras and $H^{+}$-algebras for describing certain problems concerning the quantum dynamics of systems of angular momenta, including also the spin systems. The underlying groups are ${\rm SU}(2)$…

Let $\sigma$ be a non-unit Pisot substitution and let $\alpha$ be the associated Pisot number. It is known that one can associate certain fractal tiles, so-called \emph{Rauzy fractals}, with $\sigma$. In our setting, these fractals are…
Aperiodic order refers to the mathematical formalisation of quasicrystals. Substitutions and cut and project sets are among their main actors; they also play a key role in the study of dynamical systems, whether they are symbolic, generated…
Mathematicians have been interested in non-periodic tilings of space for decades; however, it was the unexpected discovery of non-periodically ordered structures in intermetallic alloys which brought this subject into the limelight. These…

The relative stability of three-dimensional icosahedral quasicrystals in multi-component systems has been investigated based on a coupled-mode Swift-Hohenberg model with two-length-scales. A recently developed projection method, which…
Kirigami, the art of introducing cuts in thin sheets to enable articulation and deployment, has become an inspiration for a novel class of mechanical metamaterials with unusual properties. Here we complement the use of periodic tiling…
Quasicrystals remain among the most intriguing materials in physics and chemistry. Their structure results in many unusual properties including anomalously low friction as well as poor electrical and thermal conductivity but it also…
How are the symmetries encoded in quasicrystals? As a compensation for the lack of translational symmetry, quasicrystals admit non-crystallographic symmetries such as 5- and 8-fold rotations in two-dimensional space. It is originated from…
Atomic-resolution electron microscope images show that a quasicrystal is a quasiperiodic packing of clusters. The outer atomic shells of multi-shell clusters occuring in quasicrystals are highly symmetric and rather robust, but some…
We investigate two constructive approaches to defining quasi-compact and quasi-separated schemes (qcqs-schemes), namely qcqs-schemes as locally ringed lattices and as functors from rings to sets. We work in Homotopy Type Theory and…
We introduce a construction to embed a quasiperiodic lattice of obstacles into a single unit cell of a higher-dimensional space, with periodic boundary conditions. This construction transparently shows the existence of channels in these…
Quasicrystals exhibit superconductivity under the unique interplay of long-range order and strong inhomogeneity, distinguishing them from both crystalline and amorphous systems. Understanding how this structural complexity affects…
We propose a formulation of quantum measurement within a modified framework of frames, in which a quantum system - a single qubit - is directly coupled to a classical measurement bit. The qubit is represented as a positive probability…
In the last few years, the supersymmetry method was generalized to real-symmetric, Hermitean, and Hermitean self-dual random matrices drawn from ensembles invariant under the orthogonal, unitary, and unitary symplectic group, respectively.…
It is shown that the covering approach with a single decagonal prototile can be transformed into a hexagon, boat and star tiling. Particularly, the atomic decoration recently proposed by Cockayne and Widom (Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 598 (1998))…
We deepen the theory of quasiorthogonal and approximately quasiorthogonal operator algebras through an analysis of the commutative algebra case. We give a new approach to calculate the measure of orthogonality between two such subalgebras…
Quasicrystals and their periodic approximants are complex phases, which have by now been observed in many metallic alloys, soft matter systems, and particle simulations. In recent experiments of thin-film perovskites on solid substrates,…
In this paper we describe a group theoretical approach to the study of structural transitions of icosahedral quasicrystals and point arrays. We apply the concept of Schur rotations, originally proposed by Kramer, to the case of aperiodic…
