What is order that is not based on simple repetition, that is, periodicity? How must atoms be arranged in a material so that it diffracts like a quasicrystal? How can we describe aperiodically ordered systems mathematically? Originally triggered by the - later Nobel prize-winnin…
This book addresses the interplay between several rapidly expanding areas of mathematics. Suitable for graduate students as well as researchers, it provides surveys of topics linking geometry, spectral theory and stochastics.
The spectral geometry of infinite graphs deals with three major themes and their interplay: the spectral theory of the Laplacian, the geometry of the underlying graph, and the heat flow with its probabilistic aspects. In this book, all three themes are brought together coherentl…
