A simple but elegant result of Rival states that every sublattice $L$ of a finite distributive lattice $\mathcal{P}$ can be constructed from $\mathcal{P}$ by removing a particular family $\mathcal{I}_L$ of its irreducible intervals.…

For a fairly general class of two-dimensional tiling substitutions, we prove that if the length expansion $\beta$ is a Pisot number, then the tilings defined by the substitution must be locally finite. We also give a simple example of a…

This paper uses a connection between bounded remainder sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and cut-and-project sets in $\mathbb{R}$ together with the fact that each one-dimensional Pisot substitution sequence is bounded distance equivalent to some…

Two new series of substitution tilings are introduced in which the tiles appear in infinitely many orientations. It is shown that several properties of the well-known pinwheel tiling do also hold for these new examples, and, in fact, for…

Which polygons admit two (or more) distinct lattice tilings of the plane? We call such polygons double tiles. It is well-known that a lattice tiling is always combinatorially isomorphic either to a grid of squares or to a grid of regular…

The Erd\H{o}s distance problem concerns the least number of distinct distances that can be determined by $N$ points in the plane. The integer lattice with $N$ points is known as \textit{near-optimal}, as it spans $\Theta(N/\sqrt{\log(N)})$…

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…

There is a natural bijection between Dyck paths and basis diagrams of the Temperley-Lieb algebra defined via tiling. Overhang paths are certain generalisations of Dyck paths allowing more general steps but restricted to a rectangle in the…

A combinatorial tiling of the sphere is naturally given by an embedded graph. We study the case that each tile has exactly five edges, with the ultimate goal of classifying combinatorial tilings of the sphere by geometrically congruent…

For any primitive substitution whose Perron eigenvalue is Pisot unit, we construct a domain exchange measurably conjugated to the subshift. And we give a condition for the subshift to be a finite extension of a torus translation. For the…

We provide a new characterisation of the decades old open problem of extending bilipschitz mappings given on a Euclidean separated net. In particular, this allows for the complete positive solution of the open problem in dimension two.…

We first prove that the set of domino tilings of a fixed finite figure is a distributive lattice, even in the case when the figure has holes. We then give a geometrical interpretation of the order given by this lattice, using (not…

We study the intimate relationship between the Penrose and the Taylor-Socolar tilings, within both the context of double hexagon tiles and the algebraic context of hierarchical inverse sequences of triangular lattices. This unified approach…

A finite collection $P$ of finite sets tiles the integers iff the integers can be expressed as a disjoint union of translates of members of $P$. We associate with such a tiling a doubly infinite sequence with entries from $P$. The set of…

We present a simple bijection between permutation matrices and descending plane partitions without special parts. This bijection is already mentioned in work of P. Lalonde (without giving the details); it involves the inversion words of…

We prove that if $L$ is a non-trivial alternating link embedded (without crossings) in a closed surface $F\subset S^3$, then $F$ has a compressing disk whose boundary intersects $L$ in no more than two points. Moreover, whenever the surface…

We present a way of tiling the plane with a regular hexagonal network of defects. The network is stable and follows in consequence of the three-junctions that appear in a model of two real scalar fields that presents $Z_3$ symmetry. The…

Given an n-dimensional substitution whose associated linear expansion is unimodular and hyperbolic, we use elements of the one-dimensional integer \v{C}ech cohomology of the associated tiling space to construct a finite-to-one…

The intrinsic connection between lattice theory and topology is fairly well established, For instance, the collection of open subsets of a topological subspace always forms a distributive lattice. Persistent homology has been one of the…

From a fibered link in the 3-sphere may be constructed a field of not everywhere tangent 2-planes; when the fibered link is the link of an isolated critical point of a map from 4-space to the plane, the plane field is essentially the field…
