Colourings of lattices and coincidence site lattices Manuel
نویسنده
چکیده
The relationship between the coincidence indices of a lattice Γ1 and a sublattice Γ2 of Γ1 is examined via the colouring of Γ1 that is obtained by assigning a unique colour to each coset of Γ2. In addition, the idea of colour symmetry, originally defined for symmetries of lattices, is extended to coincidence isometries of lattices. An example involving the Ammann-Beenker tiling is provided to illustrate the results in the quasicrystal setting.

Coincidence isometries of a shifted square lattice
We consider the coincidence problem for the square lattice that is translated by an arbitrary vector. General results are obtained about the set of coincidence isometries and the coincidence site lattices of a shifted square lattice by identifying the square lattice with the ring of Gaussian integers. To illustrate them, we calculate the set of coincidence isometries, as well as generating func...
متن کاملSimilar Submodules and Coincidence Site Modules
We consider connections between similar sublattices and coincidence site lattices and, more generally, between similar submodules and coincidence site modules of general (free) Z-modules in R. In particular, we generalise results obtained by S. Glied and M. Baake on similarity and coincidence isometries of lattices and certain lattice-like modules called S-modules. An important result is that t...

A lattice is called well-rounded, if its lattice vectors of minimal length span the ambient space. We show that there are interesting connections between the existence of well-rounded sublattices and coincidence site lattices (CSLs). Furthermore, we count the number of well-rounded sublattices for several planar lattices and give their asymptotic behaviour.
متن کاملSymmetries of coincidence site lattices of cubic lattices
We consider the symmetries of coincidence site lattices of 3-dimensional cubic lattices. This includes the discussion of the symmetry groups and the Bravais classes of the CSLs. We derive various criteria and necessary conditions for symmetry operations of CSLs. They are used to obtain a complete list of the symmetry groups and the Bravais classes of those CSLs that are generated by a rotation ...
متن کاملMultiplicativity in the theory of coincidence site lattices
Coincidence Site Lattices (CSLs) are a well established tool in the theory of grain boundaries. For several lattices up to dimension d = 4, the CSLs are known explicitly as well as their indices and multiplicity functions. Many of them share a particular property: their multiplicity functions are multiplicative. We show how multiplicativity is connected to certain decompositions of CSLs and the...
