A self-affine tiling of a compact set G of positive Lebesgue measure is its partition to parallel shifts of a compact set which is affinely similar to G. We find all polyhedral sets (unions of finitely many convex polyhedra) that admit…

Let $\mathbb{X}$ be a weighted projective line and $\mathcal{C}_\mathbb{X}$ the associated cluster category. It is known that $\mathcal{C}_\mathbb{X}$ can be realized as a generalized cluster category of quiver with potential. In this note,…

Turner's Conjecture describes all blocks of symmetric groups and Hecke algebras up to derived equivalence in terms of certain double algebras. With a view towards a proof of this conjecture, we develop a general theory of Turner doubles. In…

Let $A,B \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d $ both span $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that $\langle a, b \rangle \in \{0,1\}$ holds for all $a \in A$, $b \in B$. We show that $ |A| \cdot |B| \le (d+1) 2^d $. This allows us to settle a conjecture by Bohn, Faenza,…

A conic bundle is a contraction $X\to Z$ between normal varieties of relative dimension $1$ such that $-K_X$ is relatively ample. We prove a conjecture of Shokurov which predicts that, if $X\to Z$ is a conic bundle such that $X$ has…

In this paper we are constructing integer lattice squares, cubes or hypercubes in $\mathbb R^d$ with $d\in \{2,3,4\}$. For squares and cubes we find a complete description of their Ehrhart polynomial. For hypercubes, we compute one of the…

A family of axis-aligned boxes in $\er^d$ is \emph{$k$-neighborly} if the intersection of every two of them has dimension at least $d-k$ and at most $d-1$. Let $n(k,d)$ denote the maximum size of such a family. It is known that $n(k,d)$ can…

We study multiple tilings of 3-dimensional Euclidean space by a convex body. In a multiple tiling, a convex body $P$ is translated with a discrete multiset $\Lambda$ in such a way that each point of the space gets covered exactly $k$ times,…

Given a triangulation of a closed topological cube, we show that (under some technical condition) there is an essentially unique tiling of a rectangular parallelepiped by cubes, indexed by the vertices of the triangulation. Moreover, i -…

We investigate a novel setting for polytope rigidity, where a flex must preserve edge lengths and the planarity of faces, but is allowed to change the shapes of faces. For instance, the regular cube is flexible in this notion. We present…

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…

We prove that a positive proportion of integers are expressible as the sum of two rational cubes, and a positive proportion are not so expressible, thus proving a conjecture of Davenport. More generally, we prove that a positive proportion…

We construct a countable family of multi-dimensional continued fraction algorithms, built out of five specific multidimensional continued fractions, and find a wide class of cubic irrational real numbers a so that either (a, a^2) or (a,…

We consider domino tilings of three-dimensional cubiculated regions. A flip is a local move: two neighboring parallel dominoes are removed and placed back in a different position. The twist is an integer associated to each tiling, which is…

Quadratic conjecture is a strengthening of oliver's $p$-group conjecture. Let $G$ be a $p$-group of maximal class of order $p^n$. We prove that if $n\le 8$ or $n\ge \max\{2p-6,p+2\}$ then $G$ satisfies Quadratic Conjecture. Hence quadratic…

This paper views the honeycomb conjecture and the Kepler problem essentially as extreme value problems and solves them by partitioning 2-space and 3-space into building blocks and determining those blocks that have the universal extreme…

A famous problem in discrete geometry is to find all monohedral plane tilers, which is still open to the best of our knowledge. This paper concerns with one of its variants that to determine all convex polyhedra whose every cross-section…

We study the maximal rigid subcategories in $2-$CY triangulated categories and their endomorphism algebras. Cluster tilting subcategories are obviously maximal rigid; we prove that the converse is true if the $2-$CY triangulated categories…

We consider a class of cut-and-project sets $\Lambda = \Lambda_F \times \zahl$ in the plane. Let $L=\Lambda+w\real$, $w\in\real^2$, be a countable union of parallel lines. Then either (1) $L$ is a discrete family of lines, (2) $L$ is a…

We prove a combinatorial theorem on families of disjoint sub-boxes of a discrete cube, which implies that there are at most $2^{d+1}-2$ nearly neighbourly simplices in $\mathbb R^d$.
