We use the Hopf fibrillation to give simple and intuitive geometric constructions of the 24-cell, $E_8$ and $\Lambda_{16}$ lattices.
The structure of a previously developed representation of the Leech lattice, $\Lambda_{24}$, is exposed to further light with this unified and very simple construction.
The Leech lattice, $\Lambda_{24}$, is represented on the space of octonionic 3-vectors. It is built from two octonionic representations of $E_{8}$, and is reached via $\Lambda_{16}$. It is invariant under the octonion index cycling and…
We consider two constructions of an envelope for a finite locally distributive strong upper semilattice. The first is based on Birkhoff's representation of finite distributive lattices and the second on valuations on lattices. We show that…
Hopf solitons in the Skyrme-Faddeev model -- S^2-valued fields on R^3 with Skyrme dynamics -- are string-like topological solitons. In this Letter, we investigate the analogous lattice objects, for S^2-valued fields on the cubic lattice Z^3…
A hyperbolic lattice allows for any $p$-fold rotational symmetry, in stark contrast to a two-dimensional crystalline material, where only twofold, threefold, fourfold or sixfold rotational symmetry is permitted. This unique feature…
In this episode, it is shown how the octonion X-product is related to E8 lattices, integral domains, sphere fibrations, and other neat stuff.
It is shown that, given any $k$-dimensional lattice $\Lambda$, there is a lattice sequence $\Lambda_w$, $w\in \mathbb Z$, with sub-orthogonal lattice $\Lambda_o \subset \Lambda$, converging to $\Lambda$ (unless equivalence), also we discuss…
We obtain lower bound for the maximum distance between any three distinct points in an affine lattice which are close to a helix with small curvature and torsion.
A classical realization of the two-site Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, based on light transport in engineered optical waveguide lattices, is theoretically proposed. The optical lattice enables a direct visualization of the Bose-Hubbard dynamics…
We study the limit of large onsite repulsion of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model at low densities, and derive a strong-coupling effective Hamiltonian. By taking the lattice parameter to zero, the Hamiltonian becomes a continuum model…
The integral octonions arise from the octonion XY-product. A parallel is shown to exist with the quaternion Z-product. Connections to the laminated lattices, $\Lambda_{4}$, $\Lambda_{8}$, $\Lambda_{16}$ and $\Lambda_{24}$ (Leech), are…
The Hopf fibration is an important object in mathematics and physics. A landmark discovery in topology and a fundamental object in the theory of Lie groups, the Hopf fibration has a wide variety of physical applications including magnetic…
We review a lattice construction arising from quaternion algebras over number fields and use it to obtain some known extremal and densest lattices in dimensions 8 and 16. The benefit of using quaternion algebras over number fields is that…
Overlaying commensurate optical lattices with various configurations called superlattices can lead to exotic lattice topologies and, in turn, a discovery of novel physics. In this study, by overlapping the maxima of lattices, a new isolated…
LatKMI Collaboration discusses the topological insights in many-flavor QCD on the lattice. We explore walking/conformal/confining phase in $N_\mathrm{f}$ = 4, 8 and 12 (in particular $N_\mathrm{f}$ = 8) lattice QCD via the topological…
Latent fibrations are an adaptation, appropriate for categories of partial maps (as presented by restriction categories), of the usual notion of fibration. The paper initiates the development of the basic theory of latent fibrations and…
We consider a Froehlich-type Hamiltonian on a hexagonal lattice. Aiming to describe nanotubes, we choose this 2-dimensional lattice to be periodic and to have a large extension in one (x) direction and a small extension in the other (y)…
Carbon allotropes such as diamond, nano-tube, Fullerene, and Graphene, have unique lattice symmetries of crystal lattice, but these are topologically trivial. We have proposed a topologically-nontrivial allotrope, named Hopfene, which has…
The hopping expansion of 8-vertex models in their Grassmann representation is studied. We use the functional similarity of the Ising model in this expansion with the hopping expansion of 2-D Wilson fermions to show that the lattice fermions…
