AbstractWe reduce the upper bound for the bond percolation threshold of the cubic lattice from 0.447 792 to 0.347 297. The bound is obtained by a growth process approach which views the open cluster of a bond percolation model as a dynamic process. A three-dimensional dynamic process on the cubic lattice is constructed and then projected onto a carefully chosen plane to obtain a two-dimensional dynamic process on a triangular lattice. We compare the bond percolation models on the cubic lattice and their projections, and demonstrate that the bond percolation threshold of the cubic lattice is no greater than that of the triangular lattice. Applying the approach to the body-centered cubic lattice yields an upper bound of 0.292 893 for its bond percolation threshold.

This article concerns the minimal knotting number for several types of lattices, including the face-centered cubic lattice (fcc), two variations of the body-centered cubic lattice (bcc-14 and bcc-8), and simple-hexagonal lattices (sh). We find, through the use of a computer algorithm, that the minimal knotting number in sh is 20, in fcc is 15, in bcc-14 is 13, and bcc-8 is 18.

1. The existence of Neumann lamellæ as a characteristic feature of hexahedral meteoric iron and of the kamacite of octahedral meteorites has been known for many years. The traces of these lamellæ upon polished and etched surfaces were at first regarded as Widmanstätten figures; but it was shown by Neumann that they were distinct from such figures, that they were character­ istic of single cubic crystals, and that their outcrops upon a cube face, which he determined, were inconsistent with the assumption that they were octahedral lamellæ. Neumann, Tschermak and other mineralogists inferred from the geometrical relations between the outcrops of the bands that they were a consequence of an interpenetrating-cube twin structure within the meteorite, of a type known to occur in various minerals, e. g ., in fluor spar.

The critical frontier of the isotropic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model in a magnetic field along the z-axis has been studied by mean-field and effective-field renormalization group calculations. These methods, abbreviated as MFRG and EFRG, are based on the comparison of two clusters of different sizes, each of them trying to mimic a specific Bravais lattice. The frontier line in the plane of temperature versus magnetic field was obtained for the simple cubic and the body-centered cubic lattices. Spin clusters with sizes N = 1, 2, 4 were used so as to implement MFRG-12, EFRG-12 and EFRG-24 numerical equations. For the simple cubic lattice, the MFRG frontier exhibits a notorious re-entrant behavior. This problem is improved by the EFRG technique. However, both methods agree at lower fields. For the body-centered cubic lattice, the MFRG method did not work. As in the cubic lattice, all the EFRG results agree at lower fields. Nevertheless, the EFRG-12 approach gave no solution for very low temperatures. Comparisons with other methods have been discussed.

Number Formula

The lattice stick number [Formula: see text] of a link [Formula: see text] is defined to be the minimal number of straight line segments required to construct a stick presentation of [Formula: see text] in the cubic lattice. Hong, No and Oh [Upper bound on lattice stick number of knots, Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 155 (2013) 173–179] found a general upper bound [Formula: see text]. A rational link can be represented by a lattice presentation with exactly 4 [Formula: see text]-sticks. An [Formula: see text]-circuit is the disjoint union of [Formula: see text] arcs in the lattice plane [Formula: see text]. An [Formula: see text]-circuit presentation is an embedding obtained from the [Formula: see text]-circuit by connecting each [Formula: see text] pair of vertices with one line segment above the circuit. By using a two-circuit presentation, we can easily find the lattice presentation with exactly four [Formula: see text]-sticks. In this paper, we show that an upper bound for the lattice stick number of rational [Formula: see text]-links realized with exactly four [Formula: see text]-sticks is [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, it is [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is a two-component link.
