Differential geometry: a natural tool for describing symmetry operations

Gervais Chapuis, Kurt Schenk, Philippe Kocian

Differential geometry provides a useful mathematical framework for describing the fundamental concepts in crystallography. The notions of point and associated vector spaces correspond to those of manifold and tangent space at a given point. A space-group o ...

G-Chaplygin Systems With Internal Symmetries, Truncation, And An (Almost) Symplectic View Of Chaplygin'S Ball

Simon Hochgerner

Via compression ([18,8]) we write the n-dimensional Chaplygin sphere system as an almost Hamiltonian system on T*SO (n) with internal symmetry group SO (n-1). We show how this symmetry group can be factored out, and pass to the fully reduced system on (a f ...

Theory of the Raman spectra of the Shastry-Sutherland antiferromagnet SrCu2(BO3)(2) doped with nonmagnetic impurities

Frédéric Mila

Controlled doping of SrCu2(BO3)(2), a faithful realization of the Heisenberg spin-1/2 antiferromagnet on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice, with nonmagnetic impurities generates bound states below the spin gap. These bound states and their symmetry properties ...

Exploiting the anisotropy of anomalous scattering boosts the phasing power of SAD and MAD experiments

The X-ray polarization anisotropy of anomalous scattering in crystals of brominated nucleic acids and selenated proteins is shown to have signiﬁcant effects on the diffraction data collected at an absorption edge. For conventionally collected single- or mu ...

Gravity Cutoff in Theories with Large Discrete Symmetries

Sergey Sibiryakov, Michele Redi

We set an upper bound on the gravitational cutoff in theories with exact quantum numbers of large N periodicity, such as Z(N) discrete symmetries. The bound stems from black hole physics. It is similar to the bound appearing in theories with N particle spe ...

Quasiparticle Chirality in Epitaxial Graphene Probed at the Nanometer Scale

Klaus Kern

Graphene exhibits unconventional two-dimensional electronic properties resulting from the symmetry of its quasiparticles, which leads to the concepts of pseudospin and electronic chirality. Here, we report that scanning tunneling microscopy can be used to ...

Symmetry determination following structure solution in P1

A new method for space-group determination is described. It is based on a symmetry analysis of the structure-factor phases resulting from a structure solution in space group P1. The output of the symmetry analysis is a list of all symmetry operations compa ...

Toy models for wrapping effects

The anomalous dimensions of local single trace gauge invariant operators in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory can be computed by diagonalizing a long range integrable Hamiltonian by means of a perturbative asymptotic Bethe ansatz. This formalism break ...

Dyson-Maleev representation of nonlinear sigma models

Dmitri Ivanov

For nonlinear sigma models in the unitary symmetry class, the nonlinear target space can be parameterized with cubic polynomials. This choice of coordinates has been known previously as the Dyson-Maleev parameterization for spin systems, and we show that i ...

Application of the superspace approach to members of the ferrite family

Ivan Orlov

The superspace concept is a new crystallographic approach for the generalisation of symmetry, structural models and structure dependent properties. Although the original motivation for the superspace was intended to describe symmetry of aperiodic crystals, ...
