This paper presents a higher-dimensional periodic table of regular and semi-regular n-dimensional polytopes. For regular n-dimensional polytopes, designated by their Schlafli symbol {p,q,r,…u,v,w}, the table is an (n-1)-dimensional hypercubic lattice in which each polytope occupies a different vertex of the lattice. The values of p,q,r,…u,v,w also establish the corresponding n-dimensional Cartesian co-ordinates (p,q,r,…u,v,w) of their respective positions in the hypercubic lattice. The table is exhaustive and includes all known regular polytopes in Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces, in addition to others candidate polytopes which do not appear in the literature. For n-dimensional semi-regular polytopes, each vertex of this hypercubic lattice branches into analogous n-dimensional cubes, where each n-cube encompasses a family with a distinct semi-regular polytope occupying each vertex of each n-cube. The semi-regular polytopes are obtained by varying the location of a vertex within the fundamental region of the polytope. Continuous transformations within each family are a natural fallout of this variable vertex location. Extensions of this method to less regular space structures and to derivation of architectural form are in progress and provide a way to develop an integrated index for space structures. Besides the economy in computational processing of space structures, integrated indices based on unified morphologies are essential for establishing a meta-structural knowledge base for architecture.

As the quantum analog of the classical one-time pad, the private quantum channel (PQC) plays a fundamental role in the construction of the maximally mixed state (from any input quantum state), which is very useful for studying secure quantum communications and quantum channel capacity problems. However, the undoubted existence of a relation between the geometric shape of regular polytopes and private quantum channels in the higher dimension has not yet been reported. Recently, it was shown that a one-to-one correspondence exists between single-qubit PQCs and three-dimensional regular polytopes (i.e., regular polyhedra). In this paper, we highlight these connections by exploiting two strategies known as a generalized Gell-Mann matrix and modified quantum Fourier transform. More precisely, we explore the explicit relationship between PQCs over a qutrit system (i.e., a three-level quantum state) and regular 4-polytopes. Finally, we attempt to devise a formula for such connections on higher dimensional cases.

AbstractBellow theorem says that any polyhedron with rigid faces cannot change its volume even if it is flexible. The problem on continuous flattenig of polyhedra with non-rigid faces proposed by Demaine et al. was solved for all convex polyhedra by using the notion of moving creases to change some of the faces. This problem was extended to a problem on continuous flattening of the 2-dimensional skeleton of higher dimensional polytopes. This problem was solved for all regular polytopes except three types, the 24-cell, the 120-cell, and the 600-cell. This article addresses the 24-cell and gives a continuous flattening motion for its 2-skeleton, which is related to the Jitterbug by Buckminster Fuller.

Abstract Methods are available to measure conductivity, charge, surface potential, carrier density, piezo-electric and other electrical properties with nanometer scale resolution. One of these methods, scanning microwave impedance microscopy (sMIM), has gained interest due to its capability to measure the full impedance (capacitance and resistive part) with high sensitivity and high spatial resolution. This paper introduces a novel data-cube approach that combines sMIM imaging and sMIM point spectroscopy, producing an integrated and complete 3D data set. This approach replaces the subjective approach of guessing locations of interest (for single point spectroscopy) with a big data approach resulting in higher dimensional data that can be sliced along any axis or plane and is conducive to principal component analysis or other machine learning approaches to data reduction. The data-cube approach is also applicable to other AFM-based electrical characterization modes.

Celestial Tapestry places mathematics within a vibrant cultural and historical context, highlighting links to the visual arts and design, and broader areas of artistic creativity. Threads are woven together telling of surprising influences that have passed between the arts and mathematics. The story involves many intriguing characters: Gaston Julia, who laid the foundations for fractals and computer art while recovering in hospital after suffering serious injury in the First World War; Charles Howard, Hinton who was imprisoned for bigamy but whose books had a huge influence on twentieth-century art; Michael Scott, the Scottish necromancer who was the dedicatee of Fibonacci’s Book of Calculation, the most important medieval book of mathematics; Richard of Wallingford, the pioneer clockmaker who suffered from leprosy and who never recovered from a lightning strike on his bedchamber; Alicia Stott Boole, the Victorian housewife who amazed mathematicians with her intuition for higher-dimensional space. The book includes more than 200 colour illustrations, puzzles to engage the reader, and many remarkable tales: the secret message in Hans Holbein’s The Ambassadors; the link between Viking runes, a Milanese banking dynasty, and modern sculpture; the connection between astrology, religion, and the Apocalypse; binary numbers and the I Ching. It also explains topics on the school mathematics curriculum: algorithms; arithmetic progressions; combinations and permutations; number sequences; the axiomatic method; geometrical proof; tessellations and polyhedra, as well as many essential topics for arts and humanities students: single-point perspective; fractals; computer art; the golden section; the higher-dimensional inspiration behind modern art.

AbstractTwisted bilayered systems such as bilayered graphene exhibit remarkable properties such as superconductivity at magic angles and topological insulating phases. For generic twist angles, the bilayers are truly quasiperiodic, a fact that is often overlooked and that has consequences which are largely unexplored. Herein, we uncover that twisted n-layers host intrinsic higher dimensional topological phases, and that those characterized by second Chern numbers can be found in twisted bi-layers. We employ phononic lattices with interactions modulated by a second twisted lattice and reveal Hofstadter-like spectral butterflies in terms of the twist angle, which acts as a pseudo magnetic field. The phason provided by the sliding of the layers lives on 2n-tori and can be used to access and manipulate the edge states. Our work demonstrates how multi-layered systems are virtual laboratories for studying the physics of higher dimensional quantum Hall effect, and can be employed to engineer topological pumps via simple twisting and sliding.
