On the Notions of Symmetry and Aperiodicity for Delone Sets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-periodic systems have become more important in recent years, both theoretically and practically. Their description via Delone sets requires the extension of many standard concepts of crystallography. Here, we summarise some useful notions of symmetry and aperiodicity, with special focus on the concept of the hull of a Delone set. Our aim is to contribute to a more systematic and consistent use of the different notions.

Geometric Models for Quasicrystals I. Delone Sets of Finite Type
This paper studies three classes of discrete sets X in R n which have a weak translational order imposed by increasingly strong restrictions on their sets of interpoint vectors X ? X. A nitely generated Delone set is one such that the abelian group X ? X] generated by X ? X is nitely generated, so that X ? X] is a lattice or a quasilattice. For such sets the abelian group X] is nitely generated...
متن کاملSeparated finitely supported $Cb$-sets
The monoid $Cb$ of name substitutions and the notion of finitely supported $Cb$-sets introduced by Pitts as a generalization of nominal sets. A simple finitely supported $Cb$-set is a one point extension of a cyclic nominal set. The support map of a simple finitely supported $Cb$-set is an injective map. Also, for every two distinct elements of a simple finitely supported $Cb$-set, there exists...
متن کاملSpectral Notions of Aperiodic Order
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.
متن کاملTHE INTERNAL IDEAL LATTICE IN THE TOPOS OF M-SETS
We believe that the study of the notions of universal algebra modelled in an arbitarry topos rather than in the category of sets provides a deeper understanding of the real features of the algebraic notions. [2], [3], [4], [S], [6], [7], [13], [14] are some examples of this approach. The lattice Id(L) of ideals of a lattice L (in the category of sets) is an important ingredient of the categ...
متن کاملRepetitive Delone Sets and Quasicrystals
This paper studies the problem of characterizing the simplest aperiodic discrete point sets, using invariants based on topological dynamics. A Delone set of finite type is a Delone set X such that X −X is locally finite. Such sets are characterized by their patch-counting function NX(T ) of radius T being finite for all T . We formulate conjectures relating slow growth of the patch-counting fun...
