Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals are colored directed graphs encoding the structure of certain finite-dimensional representations of affine Lie algebras. A tensor products of column shape Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals has recently been…
Sunada's work on crystallography emphasizes the role of the "maximal abelian cover" of a graph $X$. This is a covering space of $X$ for which the group of deck transformations is the first homology group $H_1(X,\mathbb{Z})$. An embedding of…
In this paper, we continue the development of a new combinatorial model for the irreducible characters of a complex semisimple Lie group. This model, which will be referred to as the alcove path model, can be viewed as a discrete…
The planar-diagrammatic technique of large-$N$ random matrices is extended to evaluate averages over the circular ensemble of unitary matrices. It is then applied to study transport through a disordered metallic ``grain'', attached through…
Colored planar rook algebra is a semigroup algebra in which the basis element has a diagrammatic description. The category of finite dimensional modules over this algebra is completely reducible and suitable functors are defined on this…
We relate the combinatorial definitions of the type $A_n$ and type $C_n$ Stanley symmetric functions, via a combinatorially defined "double Stanley symmetric function," which gives the type $A$ case at $(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{0})$ and gives…
When W is a finite Coxeter group of classical type (A, B, or D), noncrossing partitions associated to W and compatibility of almost positive roots in the associated root system are known to be modeled by certain planar diagrams. We show how…
Regular colored graphs are dual representations of pure colored D-dimensional complexes. These graphs can be classified with respect to an integer, their degree, much like maps are characterized by the genus. We analyse the structure of…
The exploration of solid-solid phase transition suffers from the uncertainty of how atoms in two crystal structures match. We devised a theoretical framework to describe and classify crystal-structure matches (CSM). Such description fully…
Crystals are the materials which can be described by uniform periodic lattices. Traditionally, only the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-fold rotation symmetries are allowed in crystals because other n-fold rotation symmetries are forbidden by the…
We introduce a semisimple tensor category $\mc{O}^{int}_q(m|n)$ of modules over an quantum ortho-symplectic superalgebra. It is a natural counterpart of the category of finitely dominated integrable modules over the quantum classical…
We construct a subcrystal of the Littelmann's path crystal whose formal character coincides with that of a certain simple integrable module of level zero over the untwisted affine Lie algebra associated to sl_n. We also establish an…
Let $V(\lambda)$ be the irreducible lowest weight $U_q(D(N,1))$-module with lowest weight $\lambda$. Assume $\lambda = n_0\omega_0-\sum_{i=0}^{N}n_i\omega_i$, where $\omega_0$ is the fundamental weight corresponding to the unique odd coroot…
In this paper the systematic method of dealing with the arbitrary decorations of quasicrystals is presented. The method is founded on the average unit cell formalism and operates in the physical space only, where each decorating atom…
An $n$-dimensional cross comprises $2n+1$ unit cubes: the center cube and reflections in all its faces. It is well known that there is a tiling of $R^{n}$ by crosses for all $n.$ AlBdaiwi and the first author proved that if $2n+1$ is not a…
We define three combinatorial models for \hat{sl(n)} crystals, parametrized by partitions, configurations of beads on an `abacus', and cylindric plane partitions, respectively. These are reducible, but we can identify an irreducible…
Anomalous relaxation is one of the hallmarks of disordered systems. Following perturbation by an external source, many glassy, jammed and amorphous systems relax as a stretched or compressed exponential as a function of time. However,…
The combinatorial R matrices are obtained for a family {B_l} of crystals for U'_q(C^{(1)}_n) and U'_q(A^{(2)}_{2n-1}), where B_l is the crystal of the irreducible module corresponding to the one-row Young diagram of length l. The…
We develop a combinatorial model of networks on orientable surfaces, and study weight and homology generating functions of paths and cycles in these networks. Network transformations preserving these generating functions are investigated.…
