Dodecahedral structures with Mosseri–Sadoc tiles

The 3D facets of the Delone cells of the root lattice D 6 which tile the 6D Euclidean space in an alternating order are projected into 3D space. They are classified into six Mosseri–Sadoc tetrahedral tiles of edge lengths 1 and golden ratio τ = (1 + 51/2)/2 with faces normal to the fivefold and threefold axes. The icosahedron, dodecahedron and icosidodecahedron whose vertices are obtained from the fundamental weights of the icosahedral group are dissected in terms of six tetrahedra. A set of four tiles are composed from six fundamental tiles, the faces of which are normal to the fivefold axes of the icosahedral group. It is shown that the 3D Euclidean space can be tiled face-to-face with maximal face coverage by the composite tiles with an inflation factor τ generated by an inflation matrix. It is noted that dodecahedra with edge lengths of 1 and τ naturally occur already in the second and third order of the inflations. The 3D patches displaying fivefold, threefold and twofold symmetries are obtained in the inflated dodecahedral structures with edge lengths τ n with n ≥ 3. The planar tiling of the faces of the composite tiles follows the edge-to-edge matching of the Robinson triangles.

Icosahedral Polyhedra from D6 Lattice and Danzer’s ABCK Tiling

It is well known that the point group of the root lattice D6 admits the icosahedral group as a maximal subgroup. The generators of the icosahedral group H3, its roots, and weights are determined in terms of those of D6. Platonic and Archimedean solids possessing icosahedral symmetry have been obtained by projections of the sets of lattice vectors of D6 determined by a pair of integers (m1, m2) in most cases, either both even or both odd. Vertices of the Danzer’s ABCK tetrahedra are determined as the fundamental weights of H3, and it is shown that the inflation of the tiles can be obtained as projections of the lattice vectors characterized by the pair of integers, which are linear combinations of the integers (m1, m2) with coefficients from the Fibonacci sequence. Tiling procedure both for the ABCK tetrahedral and the <ABCK> octahedral tilings in 3D space with icosahedral symmetry H3, and those related transformations in 6D space with D6 symmetry are specified by determining the rotations and translations in 3D and the corresponding group elements in D6. The tetrahedron K constitutes the fundamental region of the icosahedral group and generates the rhombic triacontahedron upon the group action. Properties of “K-polyhedron”, “B-polyhedron”, and “C-polyhedron” generated by the icosahedral group have been discussed.

Icosahedral Group and Classification of PSL(2, Z)-Orbits of Real Quadratic Fields

Reduced numbers play an important role in the study of modular group action on the PSL2,ℤ-subset of Qm/Q. For this purpose, we define new notions of equivalent, cyclically equivalent, and similar G-circuits in PSL2,ℤ-orbits of real quadratic fields. In particular, we classify PSL2,ℤ-orbits of Qm/Q=∪k∈NQ∗k2m containing G-circuits of length 6 and determine that the number of equivalence classes of G-circuits of length 6 is ten. We also employ the icosahedral group to explore cyclically equivalence classes of circuits and similar G-circuits of length 6 corresponding to each of these ten circuits. This study also helps us in classifying reduced numbers lying in the PSL2,ℤ-orbits.

The polytopes of the H 3 group with 60 vertices and their orbit decompositions

The goal of this article is to compare the geometrical structure of polytopes with 60 vertices, generated by the finite Coxeter group H 3, i.e. an icosahedral group in three dimensions. The method of decorating a Coxeter–Dynkin diagram is used to easily read the structure of the reflection-generated polytopes. The decomposition of the vertices of the polytopes into a sum of orbits of subgroups of H 3 is given and presented as a `pancake structure'.

Binary Icosahedral Group and 600-Cell

In this article, we have an explicit description of the binary isosahedral group as a 600-cell. We introduce a method to construct binary polyhedral groups as a subset of quaternions H via spin map of SO(3). In addition, we show that the binary icosahedral group in H is the set of vertices of a 600-cell by applying the Coxeter–Dynkin diagram of H4.

ARE THETA FUNCTIONS THE FOUNDATIONS OF PHYSICS ?

The Jacobi theta functions are essentially rotations in a complex space and as such provide a basis for the lattices of the exceptional Lie algebras E6;E8 in complex 3-space and complex 4-space.In this note we will show that a choice of the nome q of the theta functions θE6 ;,θE8 leads to the equilateral tritangents of these lattices. Speciffcally we will find quarter period ratios of the real and complex axes. In particular E8 is isomorphic to the binary icosahedral group shown recently to describe Elementary Particle theory and Quantum Gravity so q is fundamental to the structure of space itself.
