This article presents a new set representation named the hybrid zonotope that is equivalent to the union of $2^N$ constrained zonotopes -- convex polytopes -- through the addition of $N$ binary zonotope factors. The major contribution of…

We consider the family of convex bodies obtained from an origin symmetric convex body $K$ by multiplication with diagonal matrices, by forming Minkowski sums of the transformed sets, and by taking limits in the Hausdorff metric. Support…

In this work we show that $2$-dimensional, simply connected, translating solitons of the mean curvature flow embedded in a slab of $\mathbb{R}^3$ with entropy strictly less than $3$ must be mean convex and thus, thanks to a result by J.…

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.…

In this paper we introduce four Z_2 topological indices zeta_k=0,1 at k=(0,0), (0,pi), (pi, 0), (pi, pi) characterizing 16 universal classes of 2D superconducting states that have translation symmetry but may break any other symmetries. The…

A method to visualize polytopes in a four dimensional euclidian space $(x,y,z,w)$ is proposed. A polytope is sliced by multiple hyperplanes that are parallel each other and separated by uniform intervals. Since the hyperplanes are…

This paper shows that a multiple translative tile in the plane must be a multiple lattice tile.

Given $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\textbf{v}\in\mathbb{L}^3$, a $\lambda$-translator with velocity $\textbf{v}$ is an immersed surface in $\mathbb{L}^3$ whose mean curvature satisfies $H=\langle N,\textbf{v}\rangle+\lambda$, where $N$ is a…

This concise review aims to provide a summary of the most relevant recent experimental and theoretical results for solitons, i.e., self-trapped bound states of nonlinear waves, in two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) media. In comparison…

Let $\Omega$ be a convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We say that $\Omega$ is spectral if the space $L^2(\Omega)$ admits an orthogonal basis consisting of exponential functions. There is a conjecture, which goes back to Fuglede (1974), that…

A packing of translates of a convex body in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^d$ is said to be totally separable if any two packing elements can be separated by a hyperplane of $\mathbb{E}^{d}$ disjoint from the interior of…

In this paper, we continue the study of the Killing symmetries of a N-dimensional generalized Minkowski space, i.e. a space endowed with a (in general non-diagonal) metric tensor, whose coefficients do depend on a set of non-metrical…

Edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals are completely classified in a series of three papers. This second one applies the powerful tool of trigonometric Diophantine equations to classify the case of…

In this paper, we study two kinds of combinatorial objects, generalized integer partitions and tilings of two dimensional zonotopes, using dynamical systems and order theory. We show that the sets of partitions ordered with a simple…

Aperiodic tiling --- a form of complex global geometric structure arising through locally checkable, constant-time matching rules --- has long been closely tied to a wide range of physical, information-theoretic, and foundational…

We introduce constrained polynomial zonotopes, a novel non-convex set representation that is closed under linear map, Minkowski sum, Cartesian product, convex hull, intersection, union, and quadratic as well as higher-order maps. We show…

In this article we show that there exist measurable sets W in the plane with finite measure that tile the plane in a measurable way under the action of a expansive matrix A, an affine Weyl group W, and a full rank lattice G. This note is…

We study tiling and spectral sets in vector spaces over prime fields. The classical Fuglede conjecture in locally compact abelian groups says that a set is spectral if and only if it tiles by translation. This conjecture was disproved by T.…

We use Fourier methods to prove that if $n > 1$ translates of sublattices of $Z^d$ tile $Z^d$, and all the sublattices are Cartesian products of arithmetic progressions, then two of the tiles must be translates of each other. This is a…

We study translation covers of several triply periodic polyhedral surfaces that are intrinsically Platonic. We describe their affine symmetry groups and compute the quadratic asymptotics for counting saddle connections and cylinders,…
