Classical density-functional theory is employed to study finite-temperature trends in the relative stabilities of one-component quasicrystals interacting via effective metallic pair potentials derived from pseudopotential theory. Comparing…
The focus here is on connected fractal sets with topological dimension 1 and a lot of topological activity, and their connections with analysis.
This is an expository introduction, for a general mathematics audience, to the modeling of the fluid/solid phase transition and in particular to complications created by the discovery of quasicrystals. One goal is to elucidate certain…
In this paper, we construct Fourier quasicrystals with unit masses in arbitrary dimensions. This generalizes a one-dimensional construction of Kurasov and Sarnak. To do this, we employ a class of complex algebraic varieties avoiding certain…
The observation recently of 12-fold quasicrystals in polymers, nanoparticle mixture and 12-fold and 18-fold quasicrystals in colloidal solutions are important events for the study of quasicrystals. To describe the mechanical behaviour we…
We propose a means to realize two-dimensional quasiperiodic structures by trapping atoms in an optical potential. The structures have eight-fold symmetry and are closely related to the well-known quasiperiodic octagonal (Ammann-Beenker)…
We provide the details of the theory of magnetic symmetry in quasicrystals, which has previously only been outlined. We develop a practical formalism for the enumeration of spin point groups and spin space groups, and for the calculation of…
Aperiodic point sets (or tilings) which can be obtained by the method of cut and projection from higher dimensional periodic sets play an important role for the description of quasicrystals. Their topological invariants can be computed…
Relying on rays, we search for submodules of a module V over a supertropical semiring on which a given anisotropic quadratic form is quasilinear. Rays are classes of a certain equivalence relation on V, that carry a notion of convexity,…
We consider some simple examples of supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems and explore their possible geometric interpretation with the help of geometric aspects of real Clifford algebras. This leads to natural extensions of the…
Mixed atomistic and continuum methods offer the possibility of carrying out simulations of material properties at both larger length scales and longer times than direct atomistic calculations. The quasi-continuum method links atomistic and…
Partial cubes are isometric subgraphs of hypercubes. Structures on a graph defined by means of semicubes, and Djokovi\'{c}'s and Winkler's relations play an important role in the theory of partial cubes. These structures are employed in the…
This article describes some aspects of Cauchy integrals and related geometry of sets and measures in Euclidean spaces, etc.
A number of topics involving metrics and measures are discussed, including some of the special structure associated with ultrametrics.
Aperiodic (quasicrystalline) tilings, such as Penrose's tiling, can be built up from e.g. kites and darts, squares and equilateral triangles, rhombi or shield shaped tiles and can have a variety of different symmetries. However, almost all…
Plots of quadratic residues display some features that are analyzed mathematically.
The goal of this article is to emphasize the role of cubical sets in enriched categories theory and infinity-categories theory. We show in particular that categories enriched in cubical sets provide a convenient way to describe many…
Some of the most remarkable tilings and discrete quasiperiodic sets used in quasicrystal physics can be obtained by using strip projection method in a superspace of dimension four, five or six, and the projection of a unit hypercube as a…
Every set $\Lambda\subset R$ such that the sum of $\delta$-measures sitting at the points of $\Lambda$ is a Fourier quasicrystal, is the zero set of an exponential polynomial with imaginary frequencies.
Recently, additive combinatorics has blossomed into a vibrant area in mathematical sciences. But it seems to be a difficult area to define - perhaps because of a blend of ideas and techniques from several seemingly unrelated contexts which…
