We study classical dimers on two-dimensional quasiperiodic Ammann-Beenker (AB) tilings. Despite the lack of periodicity we prove that each infinite tiling admits 'perfect matchings' in which every vertex is touched by one dimer. We…
We prove the Zil'ber Trichotomy Principle for all 1-dimensional structures which are definable in o-minimal ones. In particular, we show that any stable 1-dimensional structure is necessarily locally modular. The main tool is a theory for…
Quasiperiodic patterns described by polyhedral "atomic surfaces" and admitting matching rules are considered. It is shown that the cohomology ring of the continuous hull of such patterns is isomorphic to that of the complement of a torus…
In these notes, we explore possible stable properties for the zeta function of a geometric Zp-tower of curves over a finite field of characteristic p, in the spirit of Iwasawa theory. A number of fundamental questions and conjectures are…
We consider three-dimensional domino tilings of cylinders $\mathcal{R}_N = \mathcal{D} \times [0,N]$ where $\mathcal{D} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is a fixed quadriculated disk and $N \in \mathbb{N}$. A domino is a $2 \times 1 \times 1$ brick. A…
The problem of counting tilings of a plane region using specified tiles can often be recast as the problem of counting (perfect) matchings of some subgraph of an Aztec diamond graph A_n, or more generally calculating the sum of the weights…
We study domino tilings of certain regions $R_\lambda$, indexed by partitions $\lambda$, weighted according to generalized area and dinv statistics. These statistics arise from the $q,t$-Catalan combinatorics and Macdonald polynomials. We…
We show that every multilinear map between Euclidean spaces induces a unique, continuous, Minkowski multilinear map of the corresponding real cones of zonoids. Applied to the wedge product of the exterior algebra of a Euclidean space, this…
We give a proof of Ollinger's conjecture that the problem of tiling the plane with translated copies of a set of $8$ polyominoes is undecidable. The techniques employed in our proof include a different orientation for simulating the Wang…
In this paper, we provide a new method for constructing tilting objects in a triangulated category via recollements. The $p$-cycle approach to exceptional curve processes significant advantages in constructing recollements and ladders, due…
We give a generalization of the classical tilting theorem. We show that for a 2-term silting complex $\mathbf{P}$ in the bounded homotopy category $K^b(\mathop{\rm proj}\nolimits A)$ of finitely generated projective modules of a finite…
We prove a theorem which gives a bijection between the support $\tau$-tilting modules over a given finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and the support $\tau$-tilting modules over $A/I$, where $I$ is the ideal generated by the intersection of the…
We develop a theory of group actions and coverings on Brauer graphs that parallels the theory of group actions and coverings of algebras. In particular, we show that any Brauer graph can be covered by a tower of coverings of Brauer graphs…
Motivated by applications in reliable and secure communication, we address the problem of tiling (or partitioning) a finite constellation in $\mathbb{Z}_{2^L}^n$ by subsets, in the case that the constellation does not possess an abelian…
We generalize the notion of (geometric) substitution rule to obtain overlapping substitutions. Our motivating example is the substitution presented in Ziherl, Dotera and Bekku \cite{DBZ}, which features a substitution matrix with…
We describe a class of fixed polyominoes called $k$-omino towers that are created by stacking rectangular blocks of size $k\times 1$ on a convex base composed of these same $k$-omino blocks. By applying a partition to the set of $k$-omino…
A complex rational function R, of degree n>1, on a compact Riemann surface M provided with a cyclic order of its q critical values, determines an homogeneous tessellation of the Riemann surface M, whose 2n tiles are topological q-gons with…
An aperiodic tile set was first constructed by R.Berger while proving the undecidability of the domino problem. It turned out that aperiodic tile sets appear in many topics ranging from logic (the Entscheidungsproblem) to physics…
The theory of modular deformations is generalized for the category of complex analytic polyhedra which includes germs of complex space as well as any compact complex analytic space. The objective of the theory is a construction of fine…
We generalize a result of Lindenstrauss on the interplay between measurable and topological dynamics which shows that every separable ergodic measurably distal dynamical system has a minimal distal model. We show that such a model can, in…
