Musical features and descriptors could be coarsely divided into three levels of complexity. The bottom level contains the basic building blocks of music, e.g., chords, beats and timbre. The middle level contains concepts that emerge from…
We consider the space of countable structures with fixed underlying set in a given countable language. We show that the number of ergodic probability measures on this space that are $S_\infty$-invariant and concentrated on a single…
The investigation of colour symmetries for periodic and aperiodic systems consists of two steps. The first concerns the computation of the possible numbers of colours and is mainly combinatorial in nature. The second is algebraic and…
The aim of this note is to give a surprising symmetry property of some harmonic algebraic curves: when all the roots $z_i$ of a complex polynomial $P$ lie on the unit circle $\U$, the points of $\U$ different from the $z_i$, and such that…
We provide evidence for a duality between color and kinematics in three-dimensional supersymmetric Chern-Simons matter theories. We show that the six-point amplitude in the maximally supersymmetric, N=8, theory can be arranged so that the…
We propose a new interpretation of measures of information and disorder by connecting these concepts to group theory in a new way. Entropy and group theory are connected here by their common relation to sets of permutations. A combinatorial…
Classical crystals are solid materials containing arbitrarily long periodic repetitions of a single motif. In this paper, we study the maximal possible repetition of the same motif occurring in beta-integers -- one dimensional models of…
Orbital systems are often self-organized and/or characterized by harmonic relations. Inspired by music theory, we rewrite the Geddes and King-Hele (QJRAS, 24, 10-13, 1983) equations for mirror symmetries among the distances of the planets…
In this paper, we study the unimodular equivalence of sublattices in an $n$-dimensional lattice. A recursive procedure is given to compute the cardinalities of the unimodular equivalent classes with the indices which are powers of a prime…
We study the $n$-level spectral correlation functions of classically chaotic quantum systems without time-reversal symmetry. According to Bohigas, Giannoni and Schmit's universality conjecture, it is expected that the correlation functions…
In this paper we investigate \textit{pigeonhole statistics} for the fractional parts of the sequence $\sqrt{n}$. Namely, we partition the unit circle $ \mathbb{T} = \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ into $N$ intervals and show that the proportion of…
Let C be the class of compact 2n-dimensional symplectic manifolds M for which the first or (n-1) Chern class vanish. We point out an integer optimization problem to find a lower bound B(n) on the number of equilibrium points of…
In this paper we consider critical points of the following nonlocal energy {equation} {\cal{L}}_n(u)=\int_{\R^n}| ({-\Delta})^{n/4} u(x)|^2 dx\,, {equation} where $u\colon H^{n/2}(\R^n)\to{\cal{N}}\,$ ${\cal{N}}\subset\R^m$ is a compact $k$…
We list the subgroups of the basis set of Cl_{3,0} and classify them according to three criteria for construction of universal Clifford algebras: (1) each generator squares to +1 or -1, (2) the generators within the group anticommute, and…
It is shown that the coincidence isometries of certain modules in Euclidean $n$-space can be decomposed into a product of at most $n$ coincidence reflections defined by their non-zero elements. This generalizes previous results obtained for…
We show that the chord-length distribution function $[\gamma"(r)]$ of any bounded polyhedron has an elementary algebraic form, the expression of which changes in the different subdomains of the $r$-range. In each of these, the $\gamma"(r)$…
The main problem is to understand and to find periodic symmetric orbits in the $n$-body problem, in the sense of finding methods to prove or compute their existence, and more importantly to describe their qualitative and quantitative…
A standard Gelfand-Tsetlin pattern of depth $n$ is a configuration of particles in $\{1,...,n\} \times \R$. For each $r \in \{1,...,n\}$, $\{r\} \times \R$ is referred to as the $r^\text{th}$ level of the pattern. A standard Gelfand-Tsetlin…
Empirical studies of recorded performance have conventionally modelled tempo change as a unidirectional historical process, fitting linear regression lines to tempo data plotted against recording year. This paper argues that such approaches…
Color-ordered amplitudes for the scattering of n particles in the adjoint representation of SU(N) gauge theory satisfy constraints that arise from group theory alone. These constraints break into subsets associated with irreducible…
