چکیده

How many sublattices of index N are there in the planar hexagonal lattice? Which of them are the best from the point of view of packing density, signal-to-noise ratio, or energy? We answer the first question completely and give partial answers to the other questions.

On well-rounded sublattices of the hexagonal lattice

We produce an explicit parameterization of well-rounded sublattices of the hexagonal lattice in the plane, splitting them into similarity classes. We use this parameterization to study the number, the greatest minimal norm, and the highest signal-to-noise ratio of well-rounded sublattices of the hexagonal lattice of a fixed index. This investigation parallels earlier work by Bernstein, Sloane, ...

Claremont Reu Abstract of L. Fukshansky’s Group: on Well-rounded Sublattices of the Hexagonal Lattice

Kepler’s Conjecture, recently proved by T. Hales, states that the densest packing of spheres in 3-space has spheres centered along the face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice. A lattice is a free Z-module formed by taking the span of a collection of linearly independent vectors in R over the integers. The two-dimensional analogue of Kepler’s Conjecture, proved by L. F. Toth in 1940, states that the d...

Mineralogy, Raman spectroscopy and lattice parameter characterization of biotite with hexagonal structure from Borujerd hornfels and migmatites

Biotite is a common rock-forming mineral and accepts a variety of elements in its structure. The valuable information of crystallization conditions of the biotite mineral obtain on natural biotite composition. The biotite mineral is one of the main mineral phases of pelitic rocks which are formed in a wide range of geological conditions. In this research, microscopic mineralogy, Raman spectrosc...

On Similarity Classes of Well-rounded Sublattices of Z

A lattice is called well-rounded if its minimal vectors span the corresponding Euclidean space. In this paper we study the similarity classes of well-rounded sublattices of Z2. We relate the set of all such similarity classes to a subset of primitive Pythagorean triples, and prove that it has the structure of a noncommutative infinitely generated monoid. We discuss the structure of a given simi...

Cardy’s Formula for some Dependent Percolation Models

We prove Cardy’s formula for rectangular crossing probabilities in dependent site percolation models that arise from a deterministic cellular automaton with a random initial state. The cellular automaton corresponds to the zero-temperature case of Domany’s stochastic Ising ferromagnet on the hexagonal lattice H (with alternating updates of two sublattices) [7]; it may also be realized on the tr...
