We study the properties of an ultracold Fermi gas loaded in a square optical lattice and subjected to an external and classical non-Abelian gauge field. We calculate the energy spectrum of the system and show that the Dirac points in the…
The spectrum of tight binding electrons on a square lattice with half a magnetic flux quantum per unit cell exhibits two Dirac points at the band center. We show that, in the presence of an additional uniaxial staggered potential, this pair…

It is shown that, given a lattice H in a totally disconnected, locally compact group G, the contraction subgroups in G and the values of the scale function on G are determined by their restrictions to H. Group theoretic properties intrinsic…

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…
In this work we study some symplectic submanifolds in the cotangent bundle of a factorizable Lie group defined by second class constraints. By applying the Dirac method, we study many issues of these spaces as fundamental Dirac brackets,…
We construct a lattice Dirac operator of overlap type that describes the propagation of a Dirac fermion in an external gravitational field. The local Lorentz symmetry is manifestly realized as a lattice gauge symmetry, while it is believed…
We prove that a generic area-preserving diffeomorphism of a compact surface with non-empty boundary has an equidistributed set of periodic orbits. This implies that such a diffeomorphism has a dense set of periodic points, although we also…
In this paper we prove that the cone $\PPD$ of positive, positive definite, discrete and strong almost periodic measures has an interesting property: given any positive and positive definite measure $\mu$ smaller than some measure in…
Large ensembles of complete spectra of the Euclidean Dirac operator for staggered fermions are calculated for SU(2) lattice gauge theory. The accumulation of eigenvalues near zero is analyzed as a signal of chiral symmetry breaking and…

The Dirac combs of primitive Pisot--Vijayaraghavan (PV) inflations on the real line or, more generally, in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are analysed. We construct a mean-orthogonal splitting for such Dirac combs that leads to the classic Eberlein…
Dirac-like cones, featuring conical linear dispersions intersecting with flat bands, typically arise from accidental degeneracy of multiple modes that requires precise tuning of material and structural parameters, inherently limiting their…
Given a harmonic measure of a hyperbolic lamination on a compact metric space, a positive harmonic function is defined on the universal cover of a typical leaves. We discuss some properties of this function. Especially if all the leaves are…
For the weighted Dirac eigenvalue problem, we show that the two-sided weighted spectrum depends continuously on the weight under continuous deformations within a uniformly elliptic class. Moreover, for differentiable families of weights we…
The Dirac cone underlies many unique electronic properties of graphene and topological insulators, and its band structure--two conical bands touching at a single point--has also been realized for photons in waveguide arrays, atoms in…
It is well-known that the dynamical spectrum of an ergodic measure dynamical system is related to the diffraction measure of a typical element of the system. This situation includes ergodic subshifts from symbolic dynamics as well as…
