An $SL_2$-tiling is a bi-infinite matrix in which all adjacent $2 \times 2$ minors are equal to $1$. Positive integral $SL_2$-tilings were introduced by Assem, Reutenauer and Smith as generalisations of classical Conway--Coxeter frieze…
An $SL_2$-tiling is a bi-infinite matrix of positive integers such that each adjacent 2 by 2 submatrix has determinant 1. Such tilings are infinite analogues of Conway-Coxeter friezes, and they have strong links to cluster algebras,…
The notion of $SL_2$-tiling is a generalization of that of classical Coxeter-Conway frieze pattern. We classify doubly antiperiodic $SL_2$-tilings that contain a rectangular domain of positive integers. Every such $SL_2$-tiling corresponds…
An $SL_k$-tiling is a bi-infinite array of integers having all adjacent $k\times k$ minors equal to one and all adjacent $(k+1)\times (k+1)$ minors equal to zero. Introduced and studied by Bergeron and Reutenauer, $SL_k$-tilings generalize…
There are two objectives to this work: to classify all tame integer tilings and to classify all tame integer hypertilings. Motivation for the first objective comes from Conway and Coxeter's modelling of positive integer friezes using…
Recently there has been significant progress in classifying integer friezes and $\text{SL}_2$-tilings. Typically, combinatorial methods are employed, involving triangulations of regions and inventive counting techniques. Here we develop a…
Based on work presented in [4], we define $S^2$-Upper Triangular Matrices and $S^2$-Lower Triangular Matrices, two special types of $d\times d(2d-1)$ matrices generalizing Upper and Lower Triangular Matrices, respectively. Then, we show…
We calculate the structure of the finitely-generated groups H_2(SL_2(Z[1/m])) when m is a multiple of 6. We construct explicit homology classes which generate these groups and have prescribed orders. When n is at least 2 and m is the…
We use tilting modules to study the structure of the tensor product of two simple modules for the algebraic group $\SL_2$, in positive characteristic, obtaining a twisted tensor product theorem for its indecomposable direct summands.…
We define a family of generalizations of $\operatorname{SL}_2$-tilings to higher dimensions called $\boldsymbol{\epsilon}$-$\operatorname{SL}_2$-tilings. We show that, in each dimension 3 or greater,…
This paper gives insight into intriguing connections between two apparently unrelated theories: the theory of skein modules of 3-manifolds and the theory of representations of groups into special linear groups of 2 by 2 matrices. Let R be a…
This paper continues the study of highest weight categorical sl_2-actions started in part I. We start by refining the definition given there and showing that all examples considered in part I are also highest weight categorifications in the…
We use annular foam TQFTs introduced by the first two authors to define equivariant $SL(2)$ and $SL(3)$ web algebras in the annulus. To a diagram of a tangle in the thickened annulus we assign a complex of bimodules over these algebras…
We discuss the finiteness of (two-term) silting objects. First, we investigate new triangulated categories without silting object. Second, one studies two classes of $\tau$-tilting-finite algebras and give the numbers of their two-term…
All finite-dimensional Leibniz algebra bimodules of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ over a field of characteristic zero are described.
Given a real, symmetric matrix S, we define the slice through S as being the connected component containing S of two orbits under conjugation: the first by the orthogonal group, and the second by the upper triangular group. We describe some…
We study two-digit attractors (2-attractors) in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which are self-affine compact sets defined by two contraction affine mappings with the same linear part. They are widely studied in the literature under various names:…
In this paper we study the category of graded modules for the current algebra associated to $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. The category enjoys many nice properties, including a tilting theory which was established in previous work of the authors. We…
Following the previous work, we determine exactly the highest weights for which a tensor product of two induced modules is a tilting module, for the algebraic group $SL_2$ over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic.
In this note we use techniques in the topology of 2-complexes to recast some tools that have arisen in the study of planar tiling questions. With spherical pictures we show that the tile counting group associated to a set $T$ of tiles and a…
