Granular packings slowly driven towards their instability threshold are studied using a digital imaging technique as well as a nonlinear acoustic method. The former method allows us to study grain rearrangements on the surface during the…
Planar curves with periodically varying curvature arise in the natural sciences as the result of a wide variety of periodic processes. The total curvature of a periodic arc in such curves constrains their symmetry. It is shown how the total…
We investigate a simplified continuum model of a twisted homotrilayer TMD with negligible next-nearest layer couplings. We systematically analyze band structure and topology of various stacking configurations in a twist angle range from…
Recent research showed that the rotational degree of freedom in stacking 2D materials yields great changes in the electronic properties. Here we focus on an often overlooked question: are twisted geometries stable and what defines their…
Flexible distributions for modelling angular data have received considerable attention in recent years, with ongoing work extending existing circular models to provide greater flexibility in capturing diverse angular behaviours. In this…
We show that the well-known problem of frame dependence and violation of local Lorentz invariance in the usual formulation of $f(T)$ gravity is a consequence of neglecting the role of spin connection. We re-formulate $f(T)$ gravity…
A cornerstone of geometric reconstruction, rotation averaging seeks the set of absolute rotations that optimally explains a set of measured relative orientations between them. In addition to being an integral part of bundle adjustment and…
In teleparallel geometries the coframe and corresponding spin-connection are the principal geometric objects and consequently the appropriate definition of a symmetry is that of an affine symmetry. The set of invariant coframes and their…
This review presents recent progress in understanding constraints and consequences of close-packing geometry of filamentous or columnar materials possessing non-trivial textures, focusing in particular on the common motifs of twisted and…
The purpose of this article is to motivate the study of invariant, and especially conformally invariant, differential pairings. Since a general theory is lacking, this work merely presents some interesting examples of these pairings,…
We construct an explicit set of generators for the finite W-algebras associated to nilpotent matrices in the symplectic or orthogonal Lie algebras whose Jordan blocks are all of the same size. We use these generators to show that such…
We present a self-contained formulation of the Nonlinear Schrodinger hierarchy and its Yangian symmetry in terms of deformed oscilator algebra (Z.F. algebra). The link between Yangian Y(gl(N)) and finite W(gl(pN),N.gl(p)) algebras is also…
We define a new family of generalized Stirling permutations that can be interpreted in terms of ordered trees and forests. We prove that the number of generalized Stirling permutations with a fixed number of ascents is given by a natural…
Granular packings of non-convex or elongated particles can form free-standing structures like walls or arches. For some particle shapes, such as staples, the rigidity arises from interlocking of pairs of particles, but the origins of…
For any (1+1)-dimensional (multicomponent) evolution PDE, we define a sequence of Lie algebras $F^p$, $p=0,1,2,3,...$, which are responsible for all Lax pairs and zero-curvature representations (ZCRs) of this PDE. In our construction, jets…
The procedure underlying the matching of 1-form (tetrad) fields in theories possessing absolute parallelism -- f(T) gravity being within this category -- is addressed and exemplified. We show that the remnant symmetries of the intervening…
The theory of twistors on foliated manifolds is developed and the twistor space of the normal bundle is constructed. It is demonstrated that the classical constructions of the twistor theory lead to foliated objects and permit to formulate…
Agol recently introduced the concept of a veering taut triangulation, which is a taut triangulation with some extra combinatorial structure. We define the weaker notion of a "veering triangulation" and use it to show that all veering…
The incommensurate stacking of multi-layered two-dimensional materials is a challenging problem from a theoretical perspective and an intriguing avenue for manipulating their physical properties. Here we present a multi-scale model to…
Flip graphs of combinatorial and geometric objects are at the heart of many deep structural insights and connections between different branches of discrete mathematics and computer science. They also provide a natural framework for the…
