The present article studies combinatorial tilings of Euclidean or spherical spaces by polytopes, serving two main purposes: first, to survey some of the main developments in combinatorial space tiling; and second, to highlight some new and…
We consider here a generalization of the Abelian Higgs model in curved space, by adding a Chern--Simons term. The static equations are self-dual provided we choose a suitable potential. The solutions give a self-dual Maxwell--Chern--Simons…
We present a large set of new self-dual N=1 SUSY gauge theories. Examples include SU(N) theories with tensors and SO(N) theories with spinors. Using these dualities as starting points, new non-trivial duals can be derived by higgsing the…
In a previous paper [arXiv:1006.3807], the authors obtained tube formulas for certain fractals under rather general conditions. Based on these formulas, we give here a characterization of Minkowski measurability of a certain class of…
Celestial holography suggests, among other things, that collinear singularities of graviton scattering amplitudes are described by the OPEs of some putative dual CFT. One of the great successes has been the insight that this duality is true…
A group-theoretical approach to the construction of quasiperiodic tilings of a Euclidean plane, possessing five-fold symmetry, is applied. Of the infinitely many of variants of quasiperiodic partitions of the plane, possessing the dihedral…
Integer compositions, integer partitions, Fibonacci numbers, and generalizations of these have recently been shown to be interconnected via two-toned tilings of horizontal grids. In this article, we present refinements of two-toned tilings,…
Certain null singularities in ten dimensional supergravity have natural holographic duals in terms of Matrix Theory and generalizations of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In many situations the holographic duals appear to be well defined in…
We study the link between a compact hypersurface in $\P^{n+1}$ and the set of all its tangent planes. In this context, we identify $\P^{n+1}$ to the set of linear subspaces of codimension one by orthogonal complementarity. This gives rise…
In recent years two intriguing observations have been made for N=4 super Yang-Mills theory and for superstrings on AdS5xS5: In the planar limit the computation of the spectrum is vastly simplified by the apparent integrability of the…
We prove that fairly general spaces of tilings of R^d are fiber bundles over the torus T^d, with totally disconnected fiber. This was conjectured (in a weaker form) in [W3], and proved in certain cases. In fact, we show that each such space…
We reconsider some older constructions of T-duality, based on automorphisms of the worldsheet operator algebra, in a modern context. It has been long known that at special points in the moduli space of torus compactifications, the target…
We find explicit optimal vertex, edge and face coulourings for the chair tiling, the Ammann--Beenker tiling, the rational pinwheel tiling and the pinwheel tiling.
Recently, Scullard and Ziff noticed that a broad class of planar percolation models are self-dual under a simple condition that, in a parametrized version of such a model, reduces to a single equation. They state that the solution of the…
Incorporating designs into the tiles that form tessellations presents an interesting challenge for artists. Creating a viable MC Escher like image that works esthetically as well as functionally requires resolving incongruencies at a tile's…
By slicing the Heegaard diagram for a given $3$-manifold in a particular way, it is possible to construct $\mathcal{A}_{\infty}$-bimodules, the tensor product of which retrieves the Heegaard Floer homology of the original 3-manifold. The…
Recently the duality map between electric-like asymptotic charges of $p$-form gauge theories is studied. The outcome is an existence and uniqueness theorem and the topological nature of the duality map. The goal of this work is to extend…
We investigate topological T-duality in the framework of non-abelian gerbes and higher gauge groups. We show that this framework admits the gluing of locally defined T-duals, in situations where no globally defined ("geometric") T-duals…
We study here slopes of periodicity of tilings. A tiling is of slope if it is periodic along direction but has no other direction of periodicity. We characterize in this paper the set of slopes we can achieve with tilings, and prove they…
A recursive scheme relying on decagons is used to generate Penrose-like sublattices or tilings. Its relevance for understanding structures with non-crystallographic symmetry is discussed.
