The extension of the nuclear two-centre-oscillator to three and four centres is investigated. Some special symmetry-properties are required. In two cases an analytical solution of the Schrödinger equation is possible. A numerical procedure is developed which enables the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in a non-orthogonal basis without applying Schmidt's method of orthonormalization. This is important for calculations of arbitrary two-dimensional arrangements of the centres.

We give a complete characterization of the possible response matrices at a fixed frequency of n -terminal electrical networks of inductors, capacitors, resistors and grounds, and of n -terminal discrete linear elastodynamic networks of springs and point masses, both in three-dimensional and two-dimensional cases. Specifically, we construct networks that realize any response matrix that is compatible with the known symmetry properties and thermodynamic constraints of response matrices. Owing to a mathematical equivalence, we also obtain a characterization of the response matrices of discrete acoustic networks.

It is known [4] that the finite two- dimensional unitary group U(2, p2n) is generated by two reflections if p ≠ 2. The present note completes that result by giving two generating reflections for U(2, 22n), n > 1. As in [4] this implies that the points of the "unit circle " in the unitary plane over GF(22n), n > 1, are the vertices of a "regular unitary polygon" whose group of auto- 2n morphisms is U(2, 22n).The final section gives abstract definitions for the particular groups U(2,24) and U(2,52) in terms of their generating reflections.

The symmetry properties of an ornament contain information about its civilisation and its interactions with other cultural sources. Two-dimensional periodic ornaments can be strictly classified into a limited set of 17 mathematical symmetry groups, also known as wallpaper groups. The collection of ornaments thus classified for a civilisation is characteristic of the cultural group and serves as a fingerprint to identify that group. If the distribution of wallpaper groups is available for several societies, mathematical methods can be applied to determine similarities and differences between the art practices of these communities. This method allows a systematic approach to the general ornamental practices within a culture and their interactions in the form of similarity of fingerprints. We test the feasibility of the method on examples of medieval Armenians, Byzantium, Seljuks first in Persia and then in Anatolia and among Arabs in the Middle East. For this purpose we present the distribution of the planar ornaments and calculate the Euclidean distances in pairs. We tested to what extend geographical and religious factors could account for the observed similarity of ornamental groups between cultures. The results suggest an intensive interaction between the Seljuk Turks and Arab craftsmen who produced the ornaments. Therefore the cultural interactions are religiously motivated.

We employ an orthogonal decomposition technique with unique space–time symmetry properties to analyze a network of thalamo–cortical oscillators. A small number of thalamic "cells" are used to drive a network of cortical cells structured on a two-dimensional lattice. Two Bonhoeffer–van der Pol (BVP) based models of cortical neurons are compared at the network level in an attempt to reproduce some features of the thalamo–cortical system. It is shown that with the addition of a slowly varying term to the classical two-dimensional BVP model, the network can exhibit both periodic and irregular space–time behavior, along with changes in the temporal coherence and spatial frequency resembling the 8–12 Hz alpha rhythm.

ABSTRACTThe symmetry properties of many inorganic two-dimensional monolayer crystals make them piezoelectric, whereas their three-dimensional parent crystals are not. The emergence of piezoelectricity in the single-layer limit points toward intriguing electromechanical effects and applications in the single- or few-layer regime. We use density functional theory to calculate the piezoelectric coefficients of BN, MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2, WS2, WSe2 and WTe2. These coefficients are found to be comparable to, and in some cases greater than those of commonly used wurtzite piezoelectrics. The centrosymmetry of a BN bilayer prevents a piezoelectric effect for this structure. However, by developing an elastic model, we find that the bilayer exhibits an unusual electromechanical coupling to the curvature, similar to that of a bimorph. A BN bilayer is found to amplify the constituent monolayers’ in-plane piezoelectric displacements by factors on the order of 103-104 into out-of plane deflections.

Abstract The influence of the normal mode rotation (i.e. the Duschinsky mixing) on the molecular electronic spectra in polyatomic molecules is treated by means of multidimensional intramolecular distributions (MID). It is shown that symmetry properties of the two-dimensional MID which relate emission and absorption spectra or pertain to the exchange of modes do not exist if the number of non-separable modes exceeds 2. Specific examples of emission band shapes are calculated for weakly (linear) coupled electronic states for both, zero and finite temperatures. The strength of the mixed quadratic interaction parameter is shown to influence the shape considerably.
