Consider Bernoulli(1/2) percolation on $\Z^d$, and define a perfect matching between open and closed vertices in a way that is a deterministic equivariant function of the configuration. We want to find such matching rules that make the…
In this paper, we prove that fractal zeta functions of orbits of parabolic germs of diffeomorphisms can be meromorphically extended to the whole complex plane. We describe their set of poles (i.e. their complex dimensions) and their…
The starting point is the class of the following simplicial complexes $\Delta$ with 2-linear resolutions. The facets of $\Delta$ are $F_1,\ldots,F_n$, and we demand that for each $i$ $F_i\cap (F_1\cup \cdots\cup F_{i-1}\cup…
We construct automorphic forms on the 5-dimensional complex ball which give the inverse of the period map for cyclic 4-ple coverings of the complex projective line branching at eight points with branching index (1/4,...,1/4).
Convex hexagons that can tile the plane have been classified into three types. For the generic cases (not necessarily convex) of the three types and two other special cases, we classify tilings of the plane under the assumption that all…
Let $\beta>1$ and let $m>\be$ be an integer. Each $x\in I_\be:=[0,\frac{m-1}{\beta-1}]$ can be represented in the form \[ x=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \epsilon_k\beta^{-k}, \] where $\epsilon_k\in\{0,1,...,m-1\}$ for all $k$ (a $\beta$-expansion of…
Brane tilings are infinite, bipartite, periodic, planar graphs that are dual to quivers. In this paper, we examine the del Pezzo 2 (dP$_2$) quiver and its brane tiling, which arise from the physics literature, in terms of toric mutations on…
Let $ \mathbb{L}^{d} = ( \mathbb{Z}^{d},\mathbb{E}^{d} ) $ be the $ d $-dimensional hypercubic lattice. We consider a model of inhomogeneous Bernoulli percolation on $ \mathbb{L}^{d} $ in which every edge inside the $ s $-dimensional…
This paper concerns self-similar tilings in dimension 2. We consider the number of occurrences of a given tile in any domain bounded by a Jordan curve. For a large class of self-similar tilings, including most known examples, we give…
Let $S$ be any closed hyperbolic surface and let $\lambda$ be a maximal geodesic lamination on $S$. The amount of bending of an abstract pleated surface (homeomorphic to $S$) with the pleating locus $\lambda$ is completely determined by an…
There are many different algebraic, geometric and combinatorial objects that one can attach to a complex polynomial with distinct roots. In this article we introduce a new object that encodes many of the existing objects that have…
What we believe to be a new type of resonant coupling of an incident bulk wave into guided modes of a slab with a thick holographic grating is shown to occur in the presence of strong frequency detunings of the Bragg condition. This happens…
In this paper, we investigate the geometry of moduli space $P_d$ of degree $d$ del Pezzo pair, that is, a del Pezzo surface $X$ of degree $d$ with a curve $C \sim -2K_X$. More precisely, we study compactifications for $P_d$ from both…
We discuss the geometry and topology of the complete, non-compact, Ricci-flat Stenzel metric, on the tangent bundle of S^{n+1}. We obtain explicit results for all the metrics, and show how they can be obtained from first-order equations…
Lorentzian signature D-branes of all dimensions for the Nappi-Witten string are constructed. This is done by rewriting the gluing condition $J_+=FJ_-$ for the model chiral currents on the brane as a well posed first order differential…
We consider here square tilings of the plane. By extending the formalism introduced in [3] we build a correspondence between plane maps endowed with an harmonic vector and square tilings satisfying a condition of regularity. In the case of…
We use the theory of hyperplane arrangements to construct natural bases for the homology of partition lattices of types A, B and D. This extends and explains the "splitting basis" for the homology of the partition lattice given in [Wa96],…
We prove an asymptotic formula for the determinant of the bundle Laplacian on discrete $d$-dimensional tori as the number of vertices tends to infinity. This determinant has a combinatorial interpretation in terms of cycle-rooted spanning…
In this paper we study the topology of a set naturally arising from the study of $\beta$-expansions. After proving several elementary results for this set we study the case when our base is Pisot. In this case we give necessary and…
We consider the discrete Laplacian on $\mathbb Z^d$, and compute asymptotic expansions of its resolvent around thresholds embedded in continuous spectrum as well as those at end points. We prove that the resolvent has a square-root…
