The projection is defined by a lattice matrix that consists of two projection matrices from the base lattice space to a tile-space and perp-space, respec- tively. In selecting points in the test window, the method of infinitesimal transfer of the test window is used and the boundary conditions of the test window are investigated. The QL obtained is composed of four kinds of pro- totiles, which are derived by choosing triplets out of seven basis vectors in the tile-space. The QL contains three kinds of dodecahedral clusters, which play an important role as packing units in the structure. A modification of the lattice matrix making the QL periodic in the z direction is also considered. © 2004 MAIK “Nauka/Inter- periodica”. 1 INTRODUCTION projection of vectors onto a plane perpendicular to the The discovery of icosahedral quasicrystal in 1984 fourfold axis forms an eightfold star with relative [1] stimulated both experimental and theoretical studies length 1/ 3 , which coincides with the configuration of in this field [2, 3].

The geometry of the seven basis vectors is of quasicrystals by de Bruijn [4] in connection with shown in Fig. 1. Penrose tiling, is based on the projection method. As methods of generating quasiperiodic tiling, the cut method and self-similar methods are known. The former is more general than the projection method and can generate a wider class of quasiperiodic tilings [5]. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) quasiperiodic tiling, or a quasi-lattice (QL), developed by the authors is presented and its method of generation and its prop- erties are explained—based on a 7 × 7 lattice matrix derived from a cuboctahedron and showing quasi- eightfold symmetry in one of its two-dimensional (2D) projections (cf. [6–8]). BASIS VECTORS, PROTOTILES, AND DODECAHEDRAL CLUSTERS A 3D QL based on a projection from a seven-dimen- sional (7D) hypercubic lattice (base lattice space) to a 3D space (tile-space) is proposed.

Moro, 5, I-00185 Roma, Italy ABSTRACT Thermal behavior of afghanite, (Na15K5Ca11)Σ31[Si24Al24O96](SO4)6Cl6, P31c, a = 12.7961(7) Å, c = 21.4094(13) Å, an eight-layer member of the cancrinite group, has been investigated by combined electron microprobe analysis, X-ray single-crystal diffraction, and high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction. Non-ambient X-ray powder diffraction data were collected in the 323–1223 K thermal range on a specimen from Case Collina, Latium, Italy. Structural refinement and site assignment based on the bond-valence analysis, performed on room-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, provided more accurate site allocation of cations than the available model in the literature. The results show that the cancrinite cages alternating with the liottite cages are more compressed along the c-axis than the remaining ones. As a result the chlorine atom, located at the center of the cages, is driven off-axis to release the steric strain due to the cage compression. Thermal expansion shows a discontinuity at 448 K for both a and c unit-cell parameters, a feature previously reported for other cancrinite-like minerals.

Jim Lewis, Advisor July 2008 2 Archimedean Solids A polygon is a simple, closed, planar figure with sides formed by joining line segments, where each line segment intersects exactly two others. If all of the sides have the same length and all of the angles are congruent, the polygon is called regular. The sum of the angles of a regular polygon with n sides, where n is 3 or more, is 180° x (n – 2) degrees. If a regular polygon were connected with other regular polygons in three dimensional space, a polyhedron could be created. In geometry, a polyhedron is a three- dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons joined at their edges. The word polyhedron is derived from the Greek word poly (many) and the Indo-European term hedron (seat).

    Branes and Polytopes Luca Romano email address: [email protected] ABSTRACT We investigate the hierarchies of half-supersymmetric branes in maximal supergravity theories. By studying the action of the Weyl group of the U-duality group of maximal supergravities we discover a set of universal algebraic rules describing the number of independent 1/2-BPS p-branes, rank by rank, in any dimension. We show that these relations describe the symmetries of certain families of uniform polytopes. This induces a correspondence between half-supersymmetric branes and vertices of opportune uniform polytopes. We show that half-supersymmetric 0-, 1- and 2-branes are in correspondence with the vertices of the k21, 2k1 and 1k2 families of uniform polytopes, respectively, while 3-branes correspond to the vertices of the rectified version of the 2k1 family. For 4-branes and higher rank solutions we find a general behavior. The interpretation of half- supersymmetric solutions as vertices of uniform polytopes reveals some intriguing aspects. One of the most relevant is a triality relation between 0-, 1- and 2-branes. arXiv:1705.01294v1 [hep-th] 3 May 2017 Contents Introduction 2 1 Coxeter Group and Weyl Group 3 1.1 WeylGroup........................................ 6 2 Branes in E11 7 3 Algebraic Structures Behind Half-Supersymmetric Branes 12 4 Branes ad Polytopes 15 Conclusions 27 A Polytopes 30 B Petrie Polygons 30 1 Introduction Since their discovery branes gained a prominent role in the analysis of M-theories and du- alities [1]. One of the most important class of branes consists in Dirichlet branes, or D-branes. D-branes appear in string theory as boundary terms for open strings with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions and, due to their tension, scaling with a negative power of the string cou- pling constant, they are non-perturbative objects [2].

  • Uniform Panoploid Tetracombs
    Uniform Panoploid Tetracombs George Olshevsky TETRACOMB is a four-dimensional tessellation. In any tessellation, the honeycells, which are the n-dimensional polytopes that tessellate the space, Amust by definition adjoin precisely along their facets, that is, their ( n!1)- dimensional elements, so that each facet belongs to exactly two honeycells. In the case of tetracombs, the honeycells are four-dimensional polytopes, or polychora, and their facets are polyhedra. For a tessellation to be uniform, the honeycells must all be uniform polytopes, and the vertices must be transitive on the symmetry group of the tessellation. Loosely speaking, therefore, the vertices must be “surrounded all alike” by the honeycells that meet there. If a tessellation is such that every point of its space not on a boundary between honeycells lies in the interior of exactly one honeycell, then it is panoploid. If one or more points of the space not on a boundary between honeycells lie inside more than one honeycell, the tessellation is polyploid. Tessellations may also be constructed that have “holes,” that is, regions that lie inside none of the honeycells; such tessellations are called holeycombs. It is possible for a polyploid tessellation to also be a holeycomb, but not for a panoploid tessellation, which must fill the entire space exactly once. Polyploid tessellations are also called starcombs or star-tessellations. Holeycombs usually arise when (n!1)-dimensional tessellations are themselves permitted to be honeycells; these take up the otherwise free facets that bound the “holes,” so that all the facets continue to belong to two honeycells. In this essay, as per its title, we are concerned with just the uniform panoploid tetracombs.

  • 15 BASIC PROPERTIES of CONVEX POLYTOPES Martin Henk, J¨Urgenrichter-Gebert, and G¨Unterm
    15 BASIC PROPERTIES OF CONVEX POLYTOPES Martin Henk, J¨urgenRichter-Gebert, and G¨unterM. Ziegler INTRODUCTION Convex polytopes are fundamental geometric objects that have been investigated since antiquity. The beauty of their theory is nowadays complemented by their im- portance for many other mathematical subjects, ranging from integration theory, algebraic topology, and algebraic geometry to linear and combinatorial optimiza- tion. In this chapter we try to give a short introduction, provide a sketch of \what polytopes look like" and \how they behave," with many explicit examples, and briefly state some main results (where further details are given in subsequent chap- ters of this Handbook). We concentrate on two main topics: • Combinatorial properties: faces (vertices, edges, . , facets) of polytopes and their relations, with special treatments of the classes of low-dimensional poly- topes and of polytopes \with few vertices;" • Geometric properties: volume and surface area, mixed volumes, and quer- massintegrals, including explicit formulas for the cases of the regular simplices, cubes, and cross-polytopes. We refer to Gr¨unbaum [Gr¨u67]for a comprehensive view of polytope theory, and to Ziegler [Zie95] respectively to Gruber [Gru07] and Schneider [Sch14] for detailed treatments of the combinatorial and of the convex geometric aspects of polytope theory. 15.1 COMBINATORIAL STRUCTURE GLOSSARY d V-polytope: The convex hull of a finite set X = fx1; : : : ; xng of points in R , n n X i X P = conv(X) := λix λ1; : : : ; λn ≥ 0; λi = 1 : i=1 i=1 H-polytope: The solution set of a finite system of linear inequalities, d T P = P (A; b) := x 2 R j ai x ≤ bi for 1 ≤ i ≤ m ; with the extra condition that the set of solutions is bounded, that is, such that m×d there is a constant N such that jjxjj ≤ N holds for all x 2 P .

  • What Is a Polyhedron?
    3. POLYHEDRA, GRAPHS AND SURFACES 3.1. From Polyhedra to Graphs What is a Polyhedron? Now that we’ve covered lots of geometry in two dimensions, let’s make things just a little more difficult. We’re going to consider geometric objects in three dimensions which can be made from two-dimensional pieces. For example, you can take six squares all the same size and glue them together to produce the shape which we call a cube. More generally, if you take a bunch of polygons and glue them together so that no side gets left unglued, then the resulting object is usually called a polyhedron.1 The corners of the polygons are called vertices, the sides of the polygons are called edges and the polygons themselves are called faces. So, for example, the cube has 8 vertices, 12 edges and 6 faces. Different people seem to define polyhedra in very slightly different ways. For our purposes, we will need to add one little extra condition — that the volume bound by a polyhedron “has no holes”. For example, consider the shape obtained by drilling a square hole straight through the centre of a cube. Even though the surface of such a shape can be constructed by gluing together polygons, we don’t consider this shape to be a polyhedron, because of the hole. We say that a polyhedron is convex if, for each plane which lies along a face, the polyhedron lies on one side of that plane. So, for example, the cube is a convex polyhedron while the more complicated spec- imen of a polyhedron pictured on the right is certainly not convex.

    Efficient Folding Algorithms for Regular Polyhedra ∗ Tonan Kamata1 Akira Kadoguchi2 Takashi Horiyama3 Ryuhei Uehara1 1 School of Information Science, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), Ishikawa, Japan fkamata,[email protected] 2 Intelligent Vision & Image Systems (IVIS), Tokyo, Japan [email protected] 3 Faculty of Information Science and Technology, Hokkaido University, Hokkaido, Japan [email protected] Abstract We investigate the folding problem that asks if a polygon P can be folded to a polyhedron Q for given P and Q. Recently, an efficient algorithm for this problem has been developed when Q is a box. We extend this idea to regular polyhedra, also known as Platonic solids. The basic idea of our algorithms is common, which is called stamping. However, the computational complexities of them are different depending on their geometric properties. We developed four algorithms for the problem as follows. (1) An algorithm for a regular tetrahedron, which can be extended to a tetramonohedron. (2) An algorithm for a regular hexahedron (or a cube), which is much efficient than the previously known one. (3) An algorithm for a general deltahedron, which contains the cases that Q is a regular octahedron or a regular icosahedron. (4) An algorithm for a regular dodecahedron. Combining these algorithms, we can conclude that the folding problem can be solved pseudo-polynomial time when Q is a regular polyhedron and other related solid. Keywords: Computational origami folding problem pseudo-polynomial time algorithm regular poly- hedron (Platonic solids) stamping 1 Introduction In 1525, the German painter Albrecht D¨urerpublished his masterwork on geometry [5], whose title translates as \On Teaching Measurement with a Compass and Straightedge for lines, planes, and whole bodies." In the book, he presented each polyhedron by drawing a net, which is an unfolding of the surface of the polyhedron to a planar layout without overlapping by cutting along its edges.

  • Convex Polytopes and Tilings with Few Flag Orbits
    Convex Polytopes and Tilings with Few Flag Orbits by Nicholas Matteo B.A. in Mathematics, Miami University M.A. in Mathematics, Miami University A dissertation submitted to The Faculty of the College of Science of Northeastern University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 14, 2015 Dissertation directed by Egon Schulte Professor of Mathematics Abstract of Dissertation The amount of symmetry possessed by a convex polytope, or a tiling by convex polytopes, is reflected by the number of orbits of its flags under the action of the Euclidean isometries preserving the polytope. The convex polytopes with only one flag orbit have been classified since the work of Schläfli in the 19th century. In this dissertation, convex polytopes with up to three flag orbits are classified. Two-orbit convex polytopes exist only in two or three dimensions, and the only ones whose combinatorial automorphism group is also two-orbit are the cuboctahedron, the icosidodecahedron, the rhombic dodecahedron, and the rhombic triacontahedron. Two-orbit face-to-face tilings by convex polytopes exist on E1, E2, and E3; the only ones which are also combinatorially two-orbit are the trihexagonal plane tiling, the rhombille plane tiling, the tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb, and the rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb. Moreover, any combinatorially two-orbit convex polytope or tiling is isomorphic to one on the above list. Three-orbit convex polytopes exist in two through eight dimensions. There are infinitely many in three dimensions, including prisms over regular polygons, truncated Platonic solids, and their dual bipyramids and Kleetopes. There are infinitely many in four dimensions, comprising the rectified regular 4-polytopes, the p; p-duoprisms, the bitruncated 4-simplex, the bitruncated 24-cell, and their duals.
