I present here another example of a lattice fibration, a discrete version of the highest dimensional Hopf fibration: $S^{7}\longrightarrow S^{15} \longrightarrow S^{8}$.
We describe the geometry of an arrangement of 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. In $\S$7 we apply our results to the even unimodular lattice $E_8$ and show how the 600-cell transforms $E_8$/2$E_8$, an 8-space over the field $\bf{F}$$_2$,…
By combining tools from different areas of mathematics, we obtain 3D visualizations of elliptic curves over different fields that faithfully capture the underlying algebra and geometry.
We review a lattice construction arising from quaternion algebras over number fields and use it to obtain some known extremal and densest lattices in dimensions 8 and 16. The benefit of using quaternion algebras over number fields is that…
The Hopf fibration is an important object in mathematics and physics. A landmark discovery in topology and a fundamental object in the theory of Lie groups, the Hopf fibration has a wide variety of physical applications including magnetic…
We develop a noncompact version of the Hopf maps based on the split algebras. The split algebras consist of three species: split-complex numbers, split quaternions, and split octonions. They correspond to three noncompact Hopf maps that…
An algorithm is presented for generating finite modular, semimodular, graded, and geometric lattices up to isomorphism. Isomorphic copies are avoided using a combination of the general-purpose graph-isomorphism tool nauty and some…
Hopf insulators are topological insulators whose topological behavior arises from the nontrivial mapping from a 3D sphere to a 2D sphere, known as the Hopf map. The Hopf map, typically encountered in the study of spinor and skyrmion…
Hochschild lattices are specific intervals in the dexter meet-semilattices recently introduced by Chapoton. A natural geometric realization of these lattices leads to some cell complexes introduced by Saneblidze, called the Hochschild…
We construct integrable holomorphic G-structures and flat holomorphic Cartan geometries on every complex Hopf manifold, without using the normal forms given by the Poincar\'e-Dulac Theorem. We provide a new proof of the latter using charts…
We present the explicit formulae relating Hopf maps with Wigner's little groups. They, particularly, explain simple action of group on a fiber for the first and second Hopf fibrations, and present most simplified form for the third one.…
The Leech lattice, $\Lambda_{24}$, is represented on the space of octonionic 3-vectors. It is built from two octonionic representations of $E_{8}$, and is reached via $\Lambda_{16}$. It is invariant under the octonion index cycling and…
In this article we describe cell decompositions of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces and their relationship to a Hurwitz problem. The cells possess natural linear structures and with respect to this they can be described as rational…
A classical realization of the two-site Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, based on light transport in engineered optical waveguide lattices, is theoretically proposed. The optical lattice enables a direct visualization of the Bose-Hubbard dynamics…
We present a unifying framework for understanding several different versions of the Hopf fibration, and use this framework to reconcile two methods of representing rotations of 3-space by unitary matrices--the mathematician's convention…
The optimal use of resources has motivated the engineering community to employ controlled distribution of material within their structural designs, often relying on cellular and lattice porous structures. In this research work, a…
The structure of a previously developed representation of the Leech lattice, $\Lambda_{24}$, is exposed to further light with this unified and very simple construction.
In embedding calculus, spaces of embeddings are identified with derived mapping spaces between framed Fulton-MacPherson-type modules (framed configuration spaces). Unfortunately, there are no sufficiently good algebraic models for framed…
Mechanical lattices support topological wave phenomena governed by geometric phases. We develop a compact Hilbert space description for one-dimensional elastic chains, expressing intra-cell motion as a normalized superposition of orthogonal…
Materials science and the study of the electronic properties of solids are a major field of interest in both physics and engineering. The starting point for all such calculations is single-electron, or non-interacting, band structure…
