Comparing crystal structures with symmetry and geometry
Measuring the similarity between two arbitrary crystal structures is a common challenge in crystallography and materials science. Although there are an infinite number of ways to mathematically relate two crystal structures, only a few are physically ...

Non-metric geometry as the origin of mass in gauge theories of scale invariance [PDF]
We discuss gauge theories of scale invariance beyond the Standard Model (SM) and Einstein gravity. A consequence of gauging this symmetry is that their underlying 4D geometry is non-metric ( $$\nabla _\mu g_{\alpha \beta }\!\not =\!0$$ ∇ μ g α β ≠ 0 ...

Visual and hidden symmetry in geometry
AbstractA symmetry appears in modern geometry and its numerous applications both in explicit form (visually trivial) and sometimes, through sufficiently complex mathematical transformations, in veiled, hidden form. This current paper is made up of commentaries to a series of mathematical, graphical works of the author.

On the geometry of lambda-symmetries and PDE reduction [PDF]
We give a geometrical characterization of $ $-prolongations of vector fields, and hence of $ $-symmetries of ODEs. This allows an extension to the case of PDEs and systems of PDEs; in this context the central object is a horizontal one-form $ $, and we speak of $ $-prolongations of vector fields and $ $-symmetries of PDEs.

Symmetry, Geometry and Quantization with Hypercomplex Numbers [PDF]
These notes describe some links between the group SL2(R), the Heisenberg group and hypercomplex numbers - complex, dual and double numbers. Relations between quantum and classical mechanics are clarified in this framework.

Geometry-symmetry-free and material-symmetry-guaranteed polariton-induced transparency [PDF]
Summary: Plasmon-induced transparency is a classical analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). However, its realization and control primarily rely on geometry engineering rather than tuning plasmon polaritons (PPs) themselves, due to ...

T-Symmetry in String Geometry Theory
String geometry theory is one of the candidates of nonperturbative formulation of string theory. In this paper, we have shown that dimensionally reduced string geometry theories have what we call T-symmetry.

Affine Geometry, Visual Sensation, and Preference for Symmetry of Things in a Thing [PDF]
Evolution and geometry generate complexity in similar ways. Evolution drives natural selection while geometry may capture the logic of this selection and express it visually, in terms of specific generic properties representing some kind of advantage ...
