The coincident site lattice and, specifically, the `Σ value' of a grain boundary are a ubiquitous metric for experimental classification of grain boundaries. However, the mathematical nature of Σ - a pathological function taking values of either an integer or infinity - has been relatively unexplored. This work presents a framework for interpreting Σ as the inverse of a projection defined using the standard L inner product over continuous fields that represent lattices.

A recent reformulation [Phys. Rev. E 73, 016705 (2006)] of the problem of Coulomb gases in the presence of a dynamical dielectric medium showed that finite-temperature simulations of such systems can be accomplished on the basis of completely local Hamiltonians on a spatial lattice by including additional bosonic fields.
