Let $2\le k\le d-1$ and let $P$ and $Q$ be two convex polytopes in ${\mathbb E^d}$. Assume that their projections, $P|H$, $Q|H$, onto every $k$-dimensional subspace $H$, are congruent. In this paper we show that $P$ and $Q$ or $P$ and $-Q$…

We study tilings of polygons $R$ with arbitrary convex polygonal tiles. Such tilings come in continuous families obtained by moving tile edges parallel to themselves (keeping edge directions fixed). We study how the tile shapes and areas…

Let $k \geq 2$ be a constant. Given any $k$ convex polygons in the plane with a total of $n$ vertices, we present an $O(n\log^{2k-3}n)$ time algorithm that finds a translation of each of the polygons such that the area of intersection of…

Kitchloo and Morava give a strikingly simple picture of elliptic cohomology at the Tate curve by studying a completed version of $S^1$-equivariant $K$-theory for spaces. Several authors (cf [ABG],[KM],[L]) have suggested that an equivariant…

We give a new proof of the following interesting fact recently proved by Bower and Michael: if a d-dimensional rectangular box can be tiled using translates of two types of rectangular bricks, then it can also be tiled in the following way.…

A family of homothets of an o-symmetric convex body K in d-dimensional Euclidean space is called a Minkowski arrangement if no homothet contains the center of any other homothet in its interior. We show that any pairwise intersecting…

Let $\textbf{a}_1,\dots, \textbf{a}_r$ be vectors in a half-space of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We call $$C=\textbf{a}_1\mathbb{R}^++\cdots+\textbf{a}_r \mathbb{R}^+$$ a convex polyhedral cone, and call $\{\textbf{a}_1,\dots, \textbf{a}_r\}$ a…

We describe a method to classify crystallographic tilings of the Euclidean and hyperbolic planes by tiles whose stabiliser group contains translation isometries or whose topology is not that of a closed disk. We tackle this problem from two…

A tiling is a decomposition of a polygon into finitely many non-overlapping triangles. We prove that if a regular n-gon, $n \geq 5$, $n \neq 28$, can be tiled with similar right triangles, then one of the angles of these triangles is in…

The top of the attractor $A$ of a hyperbolic iterated function system $\left\{ f_{i}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{n}|i=1,2,\dots,M\right\} $ is defined and used to extend self-similar tilings to overlapping systems. The theory…

We prove the second Voronoi conjecture on parallelohedra for zonotope. We show that for a given face-to-face tiling of d-dimensional Euclidean space into parallel copies of zonotope Z there are d vectors, connecting centers of zonotopes…

Let S be a bounded, Riemann measurable set in R^d, and L be a lattice. By a theorem of Fuglede, if S tiles R^d with translation set L, then S has an orthogonal basis of exponentials. We show that, under the more general condition that S…

We discuss problems of simultaneous tiling. This means that we have an object (set, function) which tiles space with two or more different sets of translations. The most famous problem of this type is the Steinhaus problem which asks for a…

Is there a fixed dimension $n$ such that translational tiling of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ with a monotile is undecidable? Several recent results support a positive answer to this question. Greenfeld and Tao disprove the periodic tiling conjecture by…

Let $P$ and $Q$ be two simple polygons in the plane of total complexity $n$, each of which can be decomposed into at most $k$ convex parts. We present an $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm, for finding the translation of $Q$, which…

In a locally finite tiling of n-dim Euclidean space by convex polytopes, each point of the space is either a vertex of at least two tiles, or no vertex at all.

We give a $O(n)$-time algorithm for determining whether translations of a polyomino with $n$ edges can tile the plane. The algorithm is also a $O(n)$-time algorithm for enumerating all such tilings that are also regular, and we prove that…

We give a relatively simple proof that a translation surface in Euclidean space that satisfies a relation of type $aH+bK=c$, for some real numbers $a,b,c$, where $H$ and $K$ are the mean curvature and the Gauss curvature of the surface,…

In this work we prove the following result: Let $K$ be a strictly convex body in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n, n\geq 3$, and let $L$ be a hypersurface, which is the image of an embedding of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, such that $K$…

Square-tiled surfaces are a class of translation surfaces that are of particular interest in geometry and dynamics because, as covers of the square torus, they share some of its simplicity and structure. In this paper, we study counting…
