Consider a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and any of its moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}(A,\mathbf{d})^{ss}_{\theta}$ of representations. We prove a decomposition theorem which relates any irreducible component of…
A family of algebraic surfaces with many nondegenerate real singularities is introduced with the help of a construction, which has been used in previous works for the generation of substitution tilings.
An $N$-tiling of triangle $ABC$ by triangle $T$ (the `tile') is a way of writing $ABC$ as a union of $N$ copies of $T$ overlapping only at their boundaries. Let the tile $T$ have angles $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$, and sides $(a,b,c)$. This…
Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra such that $\mathcal{L}_{\Lambda}$ or $\mathcal{R}_{\Lambda}\neq\emptyset$. Then $\Lambda$ is $\tau$-tilting finite if and only if $\Lambda$ is representation-finite.
We introduce a notion of equivalence on tilings which is formulated in terms of their local structure. We compare it with the known concept of locally deriving one tiling from another and show that two tilings of finite type are…
In [BNRR], it was shown that tiling of general regions with two rectangles is NP-complete, except for a few trivial special cases. In a different direction, R\'emila showed that for simply connected regions by two rectangles, the…
In a locally finite tiling of n-dim Euclidean space by convex polytopes, each point of the space is either a vertex of at least two tiles, or no vertex at all.
Nandakumar asked whether there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise non-congruent triangles of equal area and equal perimeter. Here a weaker result is obtained: there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise non-congruent triangles of equal…
In this piece, we examine one variant of the infamous 15 Tile Puzzle and develop a mathematical backing behind why it is unsolvable. Using concepts of permutations, bijectivity, and cycle transpositions, we not only prove how to model this…
We prove that if A is a finite algebra with a parallelogram term that satisfies the split centralizer condition, then A is dualizable. This yields yet another proof of the dualizability of any finite algebra with a near unanimity term, but…
It is known that a positive, compactly supported function $f \in L^1(\mathbb R)$ can tile by translations only if the translation set is a finite union of periodic sets. We prove that this is not the case if $f$ is allowed to have unbounded…
We give a reformuation of the Tate conjecture for a surface over a finite field in terms of suitable affine open subsets. We then present three attempts to prove this reformulation, each of them falling short. Interestingly, the last two…
We study the possible structures which can be carried by sets which have no countable subset, but which fail to be `surjectively Dedekind finite', in two possible senses, that there is a surjection to $\omega$, or alternatively, that there…
A cube tiling of $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a family of pairwise disjoint cubes $[0,1)^d+T=\{[0,1)^d+t\colon t\in T\}$ such that $\bigcup_{t\in T}([0,1)^d+t)=\mathbb{R}^d$. Two cubes $[0,1)^d+t$, $[0,1)^d+s$ are called a twin pair if $|t_j-s_j|=1$…
It is demonstrated that any almost-tilting module over a gentle algebra is indeed partial-tilting, meaning it can be completed as a tilting module. Furthermore, such a module has at most $2n$ possible complements, thereby confirming a…
We give a criterion allowing to verify whether or not two tilted algebras have the same relation-extension (thus correspond to the same cluster-tilted algebra). This criterion is in terms of a combinatorial configuration in the…
We prove that for any $r\in \mathbb{N}$, there exists a constant $C_r$ such that the following is true. Let $\mathcal{F}=\{F_1,F_2,\dots\}$ be an infinite sequence of bipartite graphs such that $|V(F_i)|=i$ and $\Delta(F_i)\leq \Delta$ hold…
We show how a cluster-tilted algebra of finite representation type is related to the corresponding tilted algebra, in the case of algebras defined over an algebraically closed field.
We find the exact formula for the number of distinct $n \times n$ square patterns which appear in a Robinson tiling made of one infinite order supertile.
In this paper we study the behaviour of modules over finite dimensional algebras whose endomorphism algebra is a division ring. We show that there are finitely many such modules in the module category of an algebra if and only if the length…
