A dyadic tile of order n is any rectangle obtained from the unit square by n successive bisections by horizontal or vertical cuts. Let each dyadic tile of order n be available with probability p, independently of the others. We prove that…

To a given tiling a non commutative space and the corresponding C*-algebra are constructed. This includes the definition of a topology on the groupoid induced by translations of the tiling. The algebra is also the algebra of observables for…

We study the topological properties of a class of planar crystallographic replication tiles. Let $M\in\mathbb{Z}^{2\times2}$ be an expanding matrix with characteristic polynomial $x^2+Ax+B$ ($A,B\in\mathbb{Z}$, $B\geq 2$) and ${\bf…

We prove that there exists a $\Sigma^0_1$ closed subset of $[0,1]$ that is not homeomorphic to any computably compact space. We show that the index set of c.e. subspaces of $[0,1]$ that admit a computably compact presentation is not…

It is proved that whenever two aperiodic repetitive tilings with finite local complexity have homeomorphic tiling spaces, their associated complexity functions are asymptotically equivalent in a certain sense (which implies, if the…

We obtain structural results on translational tilings of periodic functions in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ by finite tiles. In particular, we show that any level one tiling of a periodic set in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ must be weakly periodic (the disjoint union…

Let $p$ be a prime number, it is shown that tiling and spectral sets coincide in $\mathbb Z_{p^2}\times\mathbb Z_{p^2}$ by considering equivalently symplectic spectral pairs. The main approach is still to analyze the zero set of the Fourier…

In this thesis we will present and discuss various results pertaining to tiling problems and mathematical logic, specifically computability theory. We focus on Wang prototiles, as defined in [32]. We begin by studying Domino Problems, and…

Identity-homotopic self-homeomorphisms of a space of non-periodic 1-dimensional tiling are generalizations of orientation-preserving self-homeomorphisms of circles. We define the analogue of rotation numbers for such maps. In constrast to…

The periodic tiling conjecture (PTC) asserts, for a finitely generated Abelian group $G$ and a finite subset $F$ of $G$, that if there is a set $A$ that solves the tiling equation $\mathbb{1}_F * \mathbb{1}_A = 1$, there is also a periodic…

In this paper, we study tilings of $\mathbb Z$, that is, coverings of $\mathbb Z$ by disjoint sets (tiles). Let $T=\{d_1,\ldots, d_s\}$ be a given multiset of distances. Is it always possible to tile $\mathbb Z$ by tiles, for which the…

We consider definable topological spaces of dimension one in o-minimal structures, and state several equivalent conditions for when such a topological space $\left(X,\tau\right)$ is definably homeomorphic to an affine definable space…

Given a periodic placement of copies of a tromino (either L or I), we prove co-RE-completeness (and hence undecidability) of deciding whether it can be completed to a plane tiling. By contrast, the problem becomes decidable if the initial…

We present a model of set theory, in which, for a given $n\ge2$, there exists a non-ROD-uniformizable planar lightface $\varPi^1_n$ set in $\mathbb R\times\mathbb R$, whose all vertical cross-sections are countable sets (and in fact Vitali…

This short survey of recent work in tile self-assembly discusses the use of simulation to classify and separate the computational and expressive power of self-assembly models. The journey begins with the result that there is a single…

We give an example of a computably enumerable closed subset of [0,1] that is not homeomorphic to any computably compact space. This answers a question of Koh, Melnikov and Ng.

We prove that every finite distributive lattice is isomorphic to a final segment of the d.c.e. Turing degrees (i.e., the degrees of differences of computably enumerable sets). As a corollary, we are able to infer the undecidability of the…

We prove that each non-separable completely metrizable convex subset of a Frechet space is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space. This resolves an old (more than 30 years) problem of infinite-dimensional topology. Combined with the topological…

In this paper we study algorithms for tiling problems. We show that the conditions $(T1)$ and $(T2)$ of Coven and Meyerowitz, conjectured to be necessary and sufficient for a finite set $A$ to tile the integers, can be checked in time…

This study explores the properties of the function which can tile the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers by translation. It is established that functions capable of tiling $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is by translation uniformly locally constancy.…
