We establish that equally-spaced smectic configurations enjoy an infinite-dimensional conformal symmetry and show that there is a natural map between them and null hypersurfaces in maximally-symmetric spacetimes. By choosing the appropriate…

This work is devoted to the study of the symmetries of (quasi)periodic architectured materials. For this purpose, the weaker symmetry criterion of indistinguishability is used. It relies on a statistical description of the mesostructure and…

We present a construction of a family of non-periodic tilings using elementary tools such as modular arithmetic and vector geometry. These tilings exhibit a distinct type of structural regularity, which we term modulo-staggered rotational…

One well studied way to construct quasicrystalline tilings is via inflate-and-subdivide (a.k.a. substitution) rules. These produce self-similar tilings--the Penrose, octagonal, and pinwheel tilings are famous examples. We present a…

We give a new proof of a theorem of Loos stating that a Riemannian symmetric space X with rectangular unit lattice is a symmetric R-space. For this we construct explicitly an isometric extrinsically symmetric embedding of X in a Euclidean…

An effective way to design structured coherent wave interference patterns that builds on the theory of coherent lattices, is presented. The technique combines prime number factorization in the complex plane with moir\'e theory to provide a…

We introduce maximal and average coherence on lattices by analogy with these notions on frames in Euclidean spaces. Lattices with low coherence can be of interest in signal processing, whereas lattices with high orthogonality defect are of…

A periodic lattice in Euclidean space is the infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis vectors. Any lattice can be generated by infinitely many different bases. This ambiguity was only partially resolved, but standard…

The notion of multidimensional quadrilateral lattice is introduced. It is shown that such a lattice is characterized by a system of integrable discrete nonlinear equations. Different useful formulations of the system are given. The…

We construct a quasiregular mapping in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that is the first to illustrate several important dynamical properties: the quasi-Fatou set contains wandering components; these quasi-Fatou components are bounded and hollow; and the…

First examples of quasi-exactly solvable models describing spin-orbital interaction are constructed. In contrast with other examples of matrix quasi-exactly solvable models discussed in the literature up to now, our models admit (but still…

We consider solitonic solutions of coupled scalar systems, whose Lagrangian has a potential term (quasi-supersymmetric potential) consisting of the square of derivative of a superpotential. The most important feature of such a theory is…

It was proved that the joint operation of electromagnetic reciprocity and $n$-fold ($n\geq3$) rotational symmetry would secure arbitrary polarization-independent backscattering efficiency [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{103}, 045422 (2021)]. Here we…

A quasi-Toeplitz $M$-matrix $A$ is an infinite $M$-matrix that can be written as the sum of a semi-infinite Toeplitz matrix and a correction matrix. This paper is concerned with computing the square root of invertible quasi-Toeplitz…

Quasicrystals are long-range ordered but not periodic, representing an interesting middle ground between order and disorder. We experimentally and numerically study the ground state of non- and weakly-interacting bosons in an eightfold…

A geometric study of twin and grain boundaries in crystals and quasicrystals is achieved via coincidence site lattices (CSLs) and coincidence site modules (CSMs), respectively. Recently, coincidences of shifted lattices and multilattices…
