It is well known that one can map certain properties of random matrices, fermionic gases, and zeros of the Riemann zeta function to a unique point process on the real line. Here we analytically provide exact generalizations of such a point…
Hyperuniform point patterns can be classified by the hyperuniformity scaling exponent $\alpha > 0$, that characterizes the power-law scaling behavior of the structure factor $S(\mathbf{k})$ as a function of wavenumber $k\equiv|\mathbf{k}|$…
We prove that for any infinite countable amenable group $G$, any $\epsilon > 0$ and any finite subset $K\subset G$, there exists a tiling (partition of $G$ into finite "tiles" using only finitely many "shapes"), where all the tiles are $(K;…
Hyperuniformity is a property of certain heteroneous media in which density fluctuations in the long wavelength range decay to zero. In reciprocal space this behavior translates into a decay of Fourier intensities in the range near small…
An h-tiling on a finite simplicial complex is a partition of its geometric realization by maximal simplices deprived of several codimension one faces together with possibly their remaining face of highest codimension. In this last case, the…
We show that given any tiling of Euclidean space, any geometric patterns of points, we can find a patch of tiles (of arbitrarily large size) so that copies of this patch appear in the tiling nearly centered on a scaled and translated…
A new method for constructing self-referential tilings of Euclidean space from a graph directed iterated function system, based on a combinatorial structure we call a pre-tree, is introduced. In the special case that we refer to as…
We study hyperuniform properties for the square-triangle tilings. The tiling is generated by a local growth rule, where squares or triangles are iteratively attached to its boundary. The introduction of the probability $p$ in the growth…
We consider the scaling properties characterizing the hyperuniformity (or anti-hyperuniformity) of long wavelength fluctuations in a broad class of one-dimensional substitution tilings. We present a simple argument that predicts the…
The algorithmic self-assembly of shapes has been considered in several models of self-assembly. For the problem of \emph{shape construction}, we consider an extended version of the Two-Handed Tile Assembly Model (2HAM), which contains…
We consider marked point processes on the d-dimensional euclidean space, defined in terms of a quasilocal specification based on marked Poisson point processes. We investigate the possibility of constructing absolutely-summable Hamiltonians…
We investigate a fundamental question regarding a benchmark class of shapes in one of the simplest, yet most widely utilized abstract models of algorithmic tile self-assembly. Specifically, we study the directed tile complexity of a $k…
To understand an aperiodic tiling (or a quasicrystal modeled on an aperiodic tiling), we construct a space of similar tilings, on which the group of translations acts naturally. This space is then an (abstract) dynamical system. Dynamical…
We study translation invariant stochastic processes on $\mathbb{R}^d$ or $\mathbb{Z}^d$ whose diffraction spectrum or structure function $S(k)$, i.e. the Fourier transform of the truncated total pair correlation function, vanishes on an…
We obtain tilings with a singular point by applying conformal maps on regular tilings of the Euclidean plane, and determine its symmetries. The resulting tilings are then symmetrically colored by applying the same conformal maps on…
Higher-point functions of gauge invariant composite operators in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory can be computed via triangulation. The elementary tile in this process is the hexagon introduced for the evaluation of structure constants. A…
We introduce a new tiling algorithm for hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We use it to compute the maximal cusp area matrix; this completely characterizes the space of all embedded and disjoint cusp neighborhoods. As another application of our work,…

Random tilings are interesting as idealizations of atomistic models of quasicrystals and for their connection to problems in combinatorics and algorithms. Of particular interest is the tiling entropy density, which measures the relation of…
