Periodic lattices in Minkowski space
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a set of periodic lattices in 1+1 -dimensional Minkowski space, where each lattice has an associated symmetry group consisting of inhomogeneous Lorentz transformations that map the lattice onto itself. Our results show how ideas of crystal structure in Euclidean space generalize to Minkowski space and provide an example that illustrates basic concepts of spacetime symmetry. © 2010 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Lattices in Computer Science Lecture 1 Introduction Lecturer : Oded Regev
In this course we will consider mathematical objects known as lattices. What is a lattice? It is a set of points in n-dimensional space with a periodic structure, such as the one illustrated in Figure 1. Three dimensional lattices occur naturally in crystals, as well as in stacks of oranges. Historically, lattices were investigated since the late 18th century by mathematicians such as Lagrange,...

متن کاملm-Projections involving Minkowski inverse and range symmetric property in Minkowski space
In this paper we study the impact of Minkowski metric matrix on a projection in the Minkowski Space M along with their basic algebraic and geometric properties.The relation between the m-projections and the Minkowski inverse of a matrix A in the minkowski space M is derived. In the remaining portion commutativity of Minkowski inverse in Minkowski Space M is analyzed in terms of m-projections as...
متن کاملTranslation Surfaces of the Third Fundamental Form in Lorentz-Minkowski Space
In this paper we study translation surfaces with the non-degenerate third fundamental form in Lorentz- Minkowski space $mathbb{L}^{3}$. As a result, we classify translation surfaces satisfying an equation in terms of the position vector field and the Laplace operator with respect to the third fundamental form $III$ on the surface.
متن کاملTopological Residuated Lattices
In this paper, we study the separtion axioms $T_0,T_1,T_2$ and $T_{5/2}$ on topological and semitopological residuated lattices and we show that they are equivalent on topological residuated lattices. Then we prove that for every infinite cardinal number $alpha$, there exists at least one nontrivial Hausdorff topological residuated lattice of cardinality $alpha$. In the follows, we obtain some ...
