The recently discovered "hat" aperiodic monotile mixes unreflected and reflected tiles in every tiling it admits, leaving open the question of whether a single shape can tile aperiodically using translations and rotations alone. We show…
In this paper, we introduce the periodic tiling (PT) property for finite abelian groups. A finite abelian group is said to have the PT property if every non-periodic set that tiles the group by translation admits a periodic tiling…
We study tilings of the plane composed of two repeating tiles of different assigned areas relative to an arbitrary periodic lattice. We classify isoperimetric configurations (i.e., configurations with minimal length of the interfaces) both…
We explore the macroscopic elastic behavior of the aperiodic but hyperuniform (single tile) tiling.
Given a random distribution of impurities on a periodic crystal, an equivalent uniquely ergodic tiling space is built, made of aperiodic, repetitive tilings with finite local complexity, and with configurational entropy close to the entropy…
Inspired by the modelization of 2D materials systems, we characterize arrangements of identical nonflat squares in 3D. We prove that the fine geometry of such arrangements is completely characterized in terms of patterns of mutual…
In this paper it is proved that there exist periodic monohedral tilings and finite seeds of colored tiles, which force non-periodic coloring of the whole plane
We look at sets of tiles that can tile any region of size greater than 1 on the square grid. This is not the typical tiling question, but relates closely to it and therefore can help solve other tiling problems -- we give an example of…
Ammann bars are formed by segments (decorations) on the tiles of a tiling such that forming straight lines with them while tiling forces non-periodicity. Only a few cases are known, starting with Robert Ammann's observations on Penrose…
We define a Wang tile set $\mathcal{U}$ of cardinality 19 and show that the set $\Omega_\mathcal{U}$ of all valid Wang tilings $\mathbb{Z}^2\to\mathcal{U}$ is self-similar, aperiodic and is a minimal subshift of…
This paper gives new solutions to the problem: 'Can we construct monohedral tilings of the disk such that a neighbourhood of the origin has trivial intersection with at least one tile?'
Model sets (or cut and project sets) provide a familiar and commonly used method of constructing and studying nonperiodic point sets. Here we extend this method to situations where the internal spaces are no longer Euclidean, but instead…
If all tiles in a tiling are congruent, the tiling is called monohedral. Tiling by convex polygons is called edge-to-edge if any two convex polygons are either disjoint or share one vertex or one entire edge in common. In this paper, we…
We study nonperiodic tilings of the line obtained by a projection method with an interval projection structure. We obtain a geometric characterisation of all interval projection tilings that admit substitution rules and describe the set of…
A family of algebraic surfaces with many nondegenerate real singularities is introduced with the help of a construction, which has been used in previous works for the generation of substitution tilings.
We present a method for generating hexagonal aperiodic tilings that are topologically equivalent to the triangular and dice lattices. This approach incorporates aperiodic sequences into the spacing between three sets of grids for the…
We establish a structure theorem for the family of Ammann A2 tilings of the plane. Using that theorem we show that every Ammann A2 tiling is self-similar in the sense of [B. Solomyak, Nonperiodicity implies unique composition for…
This is a brief introduction to the geometric aspects of aperiodic tiling and the collaboration of John Conway and the author in the decade 1990-2000.
How do people come up with new sets of tiles including new tile shapes that would only tile non-periodically? This paper presents our graphical journey in tilings and provides a new set of three polyominoes named Ax for its relationship…
Recently Taylor and Socolar introduced an aperiodic mono-tile. The associated tiling can be viewed as a substitution tiling. We use the substitution rule for this tiling and apply the algorithm of \cite{AL} to check overlap coincidence. It…
