Abstract:
The regular system is the direct generalization of the concept of
the integer lattice.
A set of points $X\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is called Delaunay set if
two following conditions hold for some positive $r$ and $R$:
(1) the ball $B_{y}(r)$ of radius $r$ centered at the point $y\in \mathbb{R}^d$
contains at most one point $x\in X$;
(2) the ball $B_{y}(R)$ of radius $R$ contains at least one point $x\in X$.
A lattice of the rank $d$ can be defined as a Delaunay set
in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a point-transitive group of translations.
A regular system is defined as a Delaunay set with a point-transitive group of isometries.
The class of regular systems is of great importance because these sets are considered as the models
of the atomic structure of a crystalline matter.
The aim of Local theory [1] is to
prove rigorously the existence of a point-transitive group for a
Delaunay set $X$ from pairwise congruence of neighborhoods of
points of $X$. This problem is related to attempt of explaining
why the atomic structure of a matter moves from amorphous state into
structure with a rich symmetry group during the phase transition from liquid to solid state [2].
In the talk, we will discuss several key results of the
local theory of regular systems [3]-[5].
