Apparently, all partial differential equations that describe physical phenomena in space-time can be cast into a universal quasilinear, first-order form. In this paper, we do two things. First, we describe some broad features of systems of…
Quasicrystals provide a fascinating class of materials with intriguing properties. Despite a strong potential for numerous technical applications, the conditions under which quasicrystals form are still poorly understood. Currently, it is…
Periodic configurations have dominated the design of phononic and elastic-acoustic metamaterial structures for the past decades. Unlike periodic crystals, quasicrystals lack translational symmetry but are unrestricted in rotational…
We present a survey of the many and various elements of the modern higher-dimensional theory of quasiconformal mappings and their wide and varied application. It is unified (and limited) by the theme of the author's interests. Thus we will…
We discuss a selection of recent developments in arithmetic combinatorics having to do with ``approximate algebraic structure'' together with some of their applications.
Expanding the library of self-assembled superstructures provides insight into the behavior of atomic crystals and supports the development of materials with mesoscale order. Here we build upon recent findings of soft matter quasicrystals…
Modulated crystals and quasicrystals can simultaneously be described as modulated quasicrystals, a class of point sets introduced by de Bruijn in 1987. With appropriate modulation functions, modulated quasicrystals themselves constitute a…
Quasicrystals are metal alloys whose noncrystallographic symmetry and lack of structural periodicity challenge methods of experimental structure determination. Here we employ quantum-based total-energy calculations to predict the structure…
This letter reports theory of elasticity and hydrodynamics of quasicrystals with 7-, 14-, 9- and 18-fold symmetries in solid phase, in which the 6-dimensional embedding space concept is used. Based on the concept and the Landau-Anderson…
Kinematic diffraction is well suited for a mathematical approach via measures, which has substantially been developed since the discovery of quasicrystals. The need for further insight emerged from the question of which distributions of…
The one-electron properties of a certain class of one-dimensional ternary quasicrystals are investigated. In particular, we show in detail the presence of a special kind of critical states called marginal critical states in these QCs. By…
We present results, both old and new, concerning Koszul and G-quadratic properties of algebras associated with points, curves, cubics and spaces of quadrics of low codimension.
Similar to linear spaces, many examples of quasilinear spaces have a notion of multiplication of the elements. To characterising these examples, in the present paper we generalize the notion of quasilinear spaces and introduce…
A survey of properties of a sequence of coefficients appearing in the evaluation of a quartic definite integral is presented. These properties are of analytical, combinatorial and number-theoretical nature.
We use the quantum metric to understand the properties of quasicrystals, represented by the one-dimensional (1D) Fibonacci chain. We show that the quantum metric can relate the localization properties of the eigenstates to the…
We study systems that approach a state possessing discrete symmetry due to different degenerate realizations for the system. For concreteness, we consider fractionally filled systems where degeneracy comes from the presence of identical…
The growth of quasicrystals, i.e., aperiodic structures with long-range order, seeded from the melt is investigated using a dynamical phase field crystal model. Depending on the thermodynamic conditions, two different growth modes are…
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,…
Kashiwara and Saito have defined a crystal structure on the set of irreducible components of Lusztig's quiver varieties. This gives a geometric realization of the crystal graph of the lower half of the quantum group associated to a…
Many statistical models are algebraic in that they are defined by polynomial constraints or by parameterizations that are polynomial or rational maps. This opens the door for tools from computational algebraic geometry. These tools can be…
