This paper develops a formal theory of musical scales and their harmonic coverings and introduces orbit covers: coverings obtained by translating a fixed subset across a scale via a group action. Orbit covers generalize familiar…
We study global sections of Hodge bundles arising from two complementary constructions: a deformation-theoretic construction, which yields global geometric consequences for period maps, and a construction from the matrix representation of…
In a previous paper we introduced examples of Hamiltonian mappings with phase space structures resembling circle packings. It was shown that a vast number of periodic orbits can be found using special properties. We now use this information…
Exact expressions for all the steady-state fields (E, H, D, B) in uniaxial linear media composed of an arbitrary number of layers having arbitrary thicknesses subjected to normal incidence are derived. Generic boundary condition relations…
With every family of finitely many subsets of a finite-dimensional vector space over the Galois-field with two elements we associate a cyclic transversal polytope. It turns out that those polytopes generalize several well-known polytopes…
We present a comprehensive and self-contained discussion of the use of the transfer matrix to study propagation in one-dimensional lossless systems, including a variety of examples, such as superlattices, photonic crystals, and optical…
A spatial surface is a compact surface embedded in the $3$-sphere. We assume that a spatial surface is oriented and that each connected component of a spatial surface is neither a disk nor without a boundary. A diagram of a spatial surface…
Decompositions of the unitary group U(n) are useful tools in quantum information theory as they allow one to decompose unitary evolutions into local evolutions and evolutions causing entanglement. Several recursive decompositions have been…
Symmetry is at the heart of much of mathematics, physics, and art. Traditional geometric symmetry groups are defined in terms of isometries of the ambient space of a shape or pattern. If we slightly generalize this notion to allow the…
By considering appropriate finite covering spaces of closed non-orientable surfaces, we construct linear representations of their mapping class group which have finite index image in certain big arithmetic groups.
We compute the periods associated with a special class of hyperplane arrangements. In particular, we exhibit a combinatorial condition on the intersection lattice of a hyperplane arrangement that ensures that its associated periods are…
Given a dynamical system, we study the so-called space of shift functions thus introducing another vision on bifurcations and chaos. As an application of the obtained results, we give a partial solution to an open problem formulated in…
This note presents a method to study center families of periodic orbits of complex holomorphic differential equations near singularities, based on some iteration properties of fixed point indices. As an application of this method, we will…
A generalized complex manifold which satisfies the $\partial \overline{\partial}$-lemma admits a Hodge decomposition in twisted cohomology. Using a Courant algebroid theoretic approach we study the behavior of the Hodge decomposition in…
In classical differential geometry, a central question has been whether abstract surfaces with given geometric features can be realized as surfaces in Euclidean space. Inspired by the rich theory of embedded triply periodic minimal…
In this paper a theory of reflective X-ray multilayer structures with a graded (slowly varying) period based on the coupled waves method and quasi-classical asymptotic expansions is reported. A number of exact solutions of the coupled wave…
The symmetries described by Pin groups are the result of combining a finite number of discrete reflections in (hyper)planes. The current work shows how an analysis using geometric algebra provides a picture complementary to that of the…
The quantum baker's map is the quantization of a simple classically chaotic system, and has many generic features that have been studied over the last few years. While there exists a semiclassical theory of this map, a more rigorous study…
Analytical perturbations of a family of finite-dimensional Poisson systems are considered. It is shown that the family is analytically orbitally conjugate in $U \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ to a planar harmonic oscillator defined on the symplectic…
This article is devoted to introduce a new notion of periodicity shadow, which appeared naturally in the study of combinatorics of tame symmetric algebras of period four, or more generally, algebras of generalized quaternion type. For any…
