Spectral Notions of Aperiodic Order
نویسنده
چکیده
Various spectral notions have been employed to grasp the structure of point sets, in particular non-periodic ones. In this article, we present them in a unified setting and explain the relations between them. For the sake of readability, we use Delone sets in Euclidean space as our main object class, and give generalisations in the form of further examples and remarks.

In [5] Lenz and Stollmann proved the existence of the integrated density of states in the sense of uniform convergence of the distributions for certain operators with aperiodic order. The goal of this paper is to establish a relation between aperiodic order, uniform spectral convergence and the continuous algebras invented by John von Neumann. We illustrate the technique by proving the uniform ...
متن کاملThermal Emission Control via Bandgap Engineering in Aperiodically Designed Nanophotonic Devices
Aperiodic photonic crystals can open up novel routes for more efficient photon management due to increased degrees of freedom in their design along with the unique properties brought about by the long-range aperiodic order as compared to their periodic counterparts. In this work we first describe the fundamental notions underlying the idea of thermal emission/absorption control on the basis of ...
متن کاملClose Encounters with Boolean Functions of Three Different Kinds
Complex arrays with good aperiodic properties are characterised and it is shown how the joining of dimensions can generate sequences which retain the aperiodic properties of the parent array. For the case of 2× 2× . . .× 2 arrays we define two new notions of aperiodicity by exploiting a unitary matrix represention. In particular, we apply unitary rotations by members of a size-3 cyclic subgroup...

In this comprehensive paper we have addressed structure-property relationships in a number of representative systems with periodic, random, quasi-periodic and deterministic aperiodic geometry using the interdisciplinary methods of spatial point pattern analysis and spectral graph theory as well as the rigorous Green’s matrix method, which provides access to the electromagnetic scattering behavi...
متن کاملL-spectral invariants and quasi-crystal graphs
Introducing and studying the pattern frequency algebra, we prove the analogue of Lück’s approximation theorems on L-spectral invariants in the case of aperiodic order. These results imply a uniform convergence theorem for the integrated density of states as well as the positivity of the logarithmic determinant of certain discrete Schrodinger operators.
