We study abelian lattice gauge theory defined on a simplicial complex with arbitrary topology. The use of dual objects allows one to reformulate the theory in terms of new dynamical variables; however, we avoid the use of the dual lattice…

There has been considerable controversy regarding the structure of TiBe$_{12}$, which is variously reported as hexagonal and tetragonal. Lattice dynamics simulations based on density functional theory show the tetragonal phase space group…
Human softness perception in haptics has mainly been studied using mechanically homogeneous objects, despite the fact that many real-world objects exhibit heterogeneous layered structures with nonuniform stiffness. This study examined how…
A real-space method using generating integers is used to classify the possible moire patterns for two equal hexagonal lattices. The result is that the rotations that take (n,m) to (m,n) with n,m relatively prime form the fundamental moire…
