Lattice QCD GPU Inverters on ROCm Platform

The open source ROCm/HIP platform for GPU computing provides a uniform framework to support both the NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, and also the possibility to porting the CUDA code to the HIP-compatible one. We present the porting progress on the Overlap fermion inverter (GWU-code) and also the general Lattice QCD inverter package - QUDA. The manual of using QUDA on HIP and also the tips of porting general CUDA code into the HIP framework are also provided.

Some remarks on moduli spaces of lattice polarized holomorphic symplectic manifolds

We construct quasi-projective moduli spaces of [Formula: see text]-general lattice polarized irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds. Moreover, we study their Baily–Borel compactification and investigate a relation between one-dimensional boundary components and equivalence classes of rational Lagrangian fibrations defined on mirror manifolds.

Optimality of general lattice transformations with applications to the Bain strain in steel

This article provides a rigorous proof of a conjecture by E. C. Bain in 1924 on the optimality of the so-called Bain strain based on a criterion of least atomic movement. A general framework that explores several such optimality criteria is introduced and employed to show the existence of optimal transformations between any two Bravais lattices. A precise algorithm and a graphical user interface to determine this optimal transformation is provided. Apart from the Bain conjecture concerning the transformation from face-centred cubic to body-centred cubic, applications include the face-centred cubic to body-centred tetragonal transition as well as the transformation between two triclinic phases of terephthalic acid.

An efficient algorithm for computing the primitive bases of a general lattice plane

The atomistic structures of interfaces and their properties are profoundly influenced by the underlying crystallographic symmetries. Whereas the theory of bicrystallography helps in understanding the symmetries of interfaces, an efficient methodology for computing the primitive basis vectors of the two-dimensional lattice of an interface does not exist. In this article, an algorithm for computing the basis vectors for a plane with Miller indices (hkl) in an arbitrary lattice system is presented. This technique is expected to become a routine tool for both computational and experimental analysis of interface structures.

Partial order among the 14 Bravais types of lattices: basics and applications

NeitherInternational Tables for Crystallography(ITC) nor available crystallography textbooks state explicitly which of the 14 Bravais types of lattices are special cases of others, although ITC contains the information necessary to derive the result in two ways, considering either the symmetry or metric properties of the lattices. The first approach is presented here for the first time, the second has been given by Michael Klemm in 1982. Metric relations between conventional bases of special and general lattice types are tabulated and applied to continuous equi-translation phase transitions.

Hopf Algebra of Sashes

International audience A general lattice theoretic construction of Reading constructs Hopf subalgebras of the Malvenuto-Reutenauer Hopf algebra (MR) of permutations. The products and coproducts of these Hopf subalgebras are defined extrinsically in terms of the embedding in MR. The goal of this paper is to find an intrinsic combinatorial description of a particular one of these Hopf subalgebras. This Hopf algebra has a natural basis given by permutations that we call Pell permutations. The Pell permutations are in bijection with combinatorial objects that we call sashes, that is, tilings of a 1 by n rectangle with three types of tiles: black 1 by 1 squares, white 1 by 1 squares, and white 1 by 2 rectangles. The bijection induces a Hopf algebra structure on sashes. We describe the product and coproduct in terms of sashes, and the natural partial order on sashes. We also describe the dual coproduct and dual product of the dual Hopf algebra of sashes. Une construction générale dans la théorie des treillis dû à Reading construit des sous-algèbres de Hopf de l’algèbre de Hopf de permutations de Malvenuto et Reutenauer (MR). Les produits et coproduits de ces sous-algèbres de Hopf sont définis extrinsèquement en termes du plongement dans MR. Le but de cette communication est de trouver une description combinatoire intrinsèque d’une de ces sous-algèbres de Hopf en particulier. Cette algèbre Hopf a une base naturelle donnée par des permutations que nous appelons permutations Pell. Les permutations Pell sont en bijection avec des objets combinatoires que nous appelons écharpes, c’est-à-dire des pavages d’un rectangle 1-par-n avec trois espèces de tuiles : des carrés noirs 1-par-1, des carrés blancs 1-par-1, et des rectangles blancs 1-par-2. La bijection induit une structure d’algèbre de Hopf sur les écharpes. On décrit le produit et le coproduit en termes d’écharpes, et l’ordre partiel naturel sur les écharpes. On décrit également le coproduit dual et le produit dualde l’algèbre de Hopf dual des écharpes.
