We study tilings of the plane that combine strong properties of different nature: combinatorial and algorithmic. We prove existence of a tile set that accepts only quasiperiodic and non-recursive tilings. Our construction is based on the…

A graph is $1$-planar, if it can be drawn in the plane such that there is at most one crossing on every edge. It is known, that $1$-planar graphs have at most $4n-8$ edges. We prove the following odd-even generalization. If a graph can be…

We introduce the notion of exact tilting objects, which are partial tilting objects $T$ inducing an equivalence between the abelian category generated by $T$ and the category of modules over the endomorphism algebra of $T$. Given a chain of…

For a fixed integer h>=1, let G be a tripartite graph with N vertices in each vertex class, N divisible by 6h, such that every vertex is adjacent to at least 2N/3+h-1 vertices in each of the other classes. We show that if N is sufficiently…

We know that tilesets that can tile the plane always admit a quasi-periodic tiling [4, 8], yet they hold many uncomputable properties [3, 11, 21, 25]. The quasi-periodicity function is one way to measure the regularity of a quasi-periodic…

We consider noncrossing partitions of [n] under the action of (i) the reflection group (of order 2), (ii) the rotation group (cyclic of order n) and (iii) the rotation/reflection group (dihedral of order 2n). First, we exhibit a bijection…

P. Arnoux and A. Marin showed that any triangulation of $\mathbb{RP}^n$ contains more than $\frac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}$ vertices if $n \geq 3$. We construct some natural triangulation of $\mathbb{RP}^n$ with $\frac{n(n+5)}{2}-1$ vertices for all…

Tilings of the plane resemble the simplicial and other complexes from algebraic topology, but have not been studied from this perspective. We construct finite categories corresponding to polygons with labeled directed edges, and introduce…

An effort has been made to show mathematicians some new ideas applied to image analysis. Gray images are presented as tilings. Based on topological properties of the tiling, a number of gray convex hulls: maximal, minimal, and oriented ones…

We consider tilings of deficient rectangles by the set $\mathcal{T}_4$ of ribbon $L$-tetrominoes. A tiling exists iff the rectangle is a square of odd side. The missing cell is on the main NW--SE diagonal, in an odd position if the square…

We develop a technique that allows us to prove results about subvarieties of general type hypersurfaces. As an application, we use a result of Clemens and Ran to prove that a very general hypersurface of degree (3n+1)/2 \leq d \leq 2n-3…

In this article we introduce a new class of non-commutative projective curves and show that in certain cases the derived category of coherent sheaves on them has a tilting complex. In particular, we prove that the right bounded derived…

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…

In this paper we introduce a new algebraic method in tilings. Combining this method with Hilbert's Nullstellensatz we obtain a necessary condition for tiling $n$-space by translates of a cluster of cubes. Further, the polynomial method will…

We consider the set of pairs of orthogonal vectors in Hilbert space, which is also called the cross because it is the union of the horizontal and vertical axes in the Euclidean plane when the underlying space is the real line. Crosses,…

Non-periodic tilings with Tile(1, 1) using the substitution method, as presented by Smith et al. in [2] and [3], can be converted into non-periodic tilings with three types of pentagons. When arbitrary replacements are excluded, the…

We prove that for all integers $\Delta,r \geq 2$, there is a constant $C = C(\Delta,r) >0$ such that the following is true for every sequence $\mathcal{F} = \{F_1, F_2, \ldots\}$ of graphs with $v(F_n) = n$ and $\Delta(F_n) \leq \Delta$,…

We prove that fairly general spaces of tilings of R^d are fiber bundles over the torus T^d, with totally disconnected fiber. This was conjectured (in a weaker form) in [W3], and proved in certain cases. In fact, we show that each such space…

This paper characterizes when an $m \times n$ rectangle, where $m$ and $n$ are integers, can be tiled (exactly packed) by squares where each has an integer side length of at least 2. In particular, we prove that tiling is always possible…

While it is a classical result dating back to Dehn (1903) that squares composing a perfect rectangle must have rational side lengths, the arithmetic complexity of these tilings, specifically the growth of the denominators of these rational…
