In this paper we consider arbitrary hexagons on the triangular lattice with three arbitrary bowtie-shaped holes, whose centers form an equilateral triangle. The number of lozenge tilings of such general regions is not expected --- and…

We consider the dimer problem on a non-bipartite graph $G$, where there are two types of dimers one of which we regard impurities. Results of simulations using Markov chain seem to indicate that impurities are tend to distribute on the…

We consider tilings of quadriculated regions by dominoes and of triangulated regions by lozenges. We present an overview of results concerning tileability, enumeration and the structure of the space of tilings.

The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that any finite subset of a lattice $\mathbb{Z^d}$ which tiles that lattice by translations, in fact tiles periodically. We announce here a disproof of this conjecture for sufficiently large $d$, which…

We consider domino tilings of $3$-dimensional cubiculated regions. A three-dimensional domino is a 2x2x1 rectangular cuboid. We are particularly interested in regions of the form $R_N = D \times [0,N]$ where $D$ is a fixed quadriculated…

Using techniques introduced by H. Thomas and N. Williams in "Cyclic Symmetry of the Scaled Simplex," we prove that modular sweep maps are bijective. We construct the inverse of the modular sweep map by passing through an intermediary set of…

The number of domino tilings of a region with reflective symmetry across a line is combinatorially shown to depend on the number of domino tilings of particular subregions, modulo 4. This expands upon previous congruency results for domino…

Let $L$ be any finite distributive lattice and $B$ be any boolean predicate defined on $L$ such that the set of elements satisfying $B$ is a sublattice of $L$. Consider any subset $M$ of $L$ of size $k$ of elements of $L$ that satisfy $B$.…

A recurrence relation of the generating function of the dimer model of Fibonacci type gives a functional relation for formal power series associated to lattice paths such as a Dyck, Motzkin and Schr\"oder path. In this paper, we generalize…

We first show that the tilings of a general domain form a lattice which we then undertake to decompose and generate without any redundance. To this end, we study extensively the relatively simple case of hexagons and their deformations. We…

This article is about measuring and visualizing distances between domino tilings. Given two tilings of a simply connected square tiled surface, we're interested in the minimum number of flips between two tilings. Given a certain shape,…

Given any finite subset $A$ of order $n$ of a distributive lattice and $k\in\{1,...,n\}$, there is a natural extension of the median operation to $n$ variables which generalizes the notion of the $k$th smallest element of $A$. By applying…

For finite-dimensional algebras over a field, Koenig and Yang established a bijection between silting complexes and simple-minded collections in the bounded derived category, with further contributions by many authors in various settings.…

We consider square matrices A that commute with a fixed square matrix K, both with entries in a field F not of characteristic 2. When K^2=I, Tao and Yasuda defined A to be generalized centrosymmetric with respect to K. When K^2=-I, we…

We present a generalization of Warning's Second Theorem to polynomial systems over a finite local principal ring with suitably restricted input and output variables. This generalizes a recent result with Forrow and Schmitt (and gives a new…

In a previous paper (El. J. Combin. 6 (1999), R37), the author generalized Ehrhart's idea of counting lattice points in dilated rational polytopes: Given a rational polytope, that is, a polytope with rational vertices, we use its…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ be two matroids on the same ground set $V$. Let $A_1,\dots,A_{2n-1}$ be sets which are independent in both $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$, satisfying $|A_i|\geq \textrm{min}(i,n)$ for all $i$. We show…

We prove that the variety of nuclear implicative semilattices is locally finite, thus generalizing Diego's Theorem. The key ingredients of our proof include the coloring technique and construction of universal models from modal logic. For…

We give a formula for the number of symmetric tilings of hexagons on the triangular lattice with unit triangles removed from arbitrary positions along two non-adjacent non-opposite sides. We show that for certain families of such regions,…

We consider the six-vertex model at its free-fermion point with domain wall boundary conditions, which is equivalent to random domino tilings of the Aztec diamond. We compute the scaling limit of a particular non-local correlation function,…
