A Structure Theorem for Protori is derived for the category of finite-dimensional protori(compact connected abelian groups), which details the interplay between the properties of density, discreteness, torsion, and divisibility within a…
In the philosophical literature, symmetries of physical theories are most often interpreted within the general doctrine called 'Sophistication'. Roughly speaking, it says that models related by symmetries can peacefully co-exist while…
The paper aims to reveal the relationship between the geometrical features and linear and nonlinear optical properties of InAs quantum dots (QDs). This problem is justified by the extreme variety offered by the recent advances in growth…
The work deals with the thermodynamical aspects of the cosmic substratum which is dissipative in nature. For homogeneous and isotropic model of the Universe this dissipative phenomenon is effective bulk viscous pressure in nature and is…
Between space crystals and amorphous materials there exists a third class of aperiodic structures which lack translational symmetry but reveal long-range order. They are dubbed quasi-crystals and their formation, similarly as the formation…
We compare classical and quantum dynamics of a particle in the de Sitter spacetimes with different topologies to show that the result of quantization strongly depends on global properties of a classical system. We present essentially…
We study the supremum of the volume of hyperbolic polyhedra with some fixed combinatorics and with vertices of any kind (real, ideal or hyperideal). We find that the supremum is always equal to the volume of the rectification of the…
Space-Time in general relativity is a dynamical entity because it is subject to the Einstein field equations. The space-time metric provides different geometrical structures: conformal, volume, projective and linear connection. A deep…
It is argued that the prevailing definition of quasicrystals, requiring them to contain an axis of symmetry that is forbidden in periodic crystals, is inadequate. This definition is too restrictive in that it excludes an important and…
We have studied the optical properties of metallic nanoparticles with arbitrary shape. We performed theoretical calculations of the absorption, extinction and scattering efficiencies, which can be directly compared with experiments, using…
A periodic graph in dimension $d$ is a directed graph with a free action of $\Z^d$ with only finitely many orbits. It can conveniently be represented in terms of an associated finite graph with weights in $\Z^d$, corresponding to a…
We introduce the volume entropy semi-norm in real homology and show that it satisfies functorial properties similar to the ones of the simplicial volume. Answering a question of M. Gromov, we prove that the volume entropy semi-norm is…
In convex geometry, the constructions that assign to a convex body its difference body, projection body, or volume have the following properties: They are (1) invariant under volume-preserving linear changes of coordinates; (2) continuous;…
One of the objectives of theories describing quantum dynamical geometry is to compute expectation values of geometrical observables. The results of such computations can be affected by whether or not matter is taken into account. It is thus…
The notion that the geometry of our space-time is not only a static background but can be physically dynamic is well established in general relativity. Geometry can be described as shaped by the presence of matter, where such shaping…
For a countable, complete, first-order theory $T$, we study $At$, the class of atomic models of $T$. We develop an analogue of $U$-rank and prove two results. On one hand, if some tp(d/a) is not ranked, then there are $2^{\aleph_1}$…
On basis of analysis of experimental results for more than 200 compounds with 3d and 4f elements we conjecture that atoms with unfilled 3d and 4f shells preserve much of their atomic properties, manifested by the discrete electronic…
An eigenstate decoherence hypothesis states that each individual eigenstate of a large closed system is locally classical-like. We extend this hypothesis to account for a typically extremely short time scale of decoherence. The extension…
This article focuses on properties of monotone convolutions. A criterion for infinite divisibility and time evolution of convolution semigroups are mainly studied. In particular, we clarify that many analogues of the classical results of…
We develop a semiclassical theory for the spectral rigidity of non-hydrogenic Rydberg atoms in electric fields and evaluate the significant deviations from the well-known Poissonian behaviour in the hydrogenic case. The resulting formula is…
