We prove an effective estimate with a power saving error term for the number of square-tiled surfaces in a connected component of a stratum of quadratic differentials whose vertical and horizontal foliations belong to prescribed mapping…

To follow up on the results of [1], we propose a computationally efficient explicit cyclic decomposition of the maximal tori in the groups $SL_n(q)$ and $SU_n(q)$ and their projective images. We also derive some corollaries to simplify…

We show that the number of square-tiled surfaces of genus $g$, with $n$ marked points, with one or both of its horizontal and vertical foliations belonging to fixed mapping class group orbits, and having at most $L$ squares, is asymptotic…

A 2-uniform tiling is an edge-to-edge tiling by regular polygons having $2$ distinct transitivity classes of vertices. There are 20 distinct 2-uniform tilings (these are of $14$ different types) on the plane, and since the plane is the…

A cyclic cover of the complex projective line branched at four appropriate points has a natural structure of a square-tiled surface. We describe the combinatorics of such a square-tiled surface, the geometry of the corresponding…

If every vertex in a map has one out of two face-cycle types, then the map is said to be $2$-semiequivelar. A 2-uniform tiling is an edge-to-edge tiling of regular polygons having $2$ distinct transitivity classes of vertices. Clearly, a…

We present theorems which provide the existence of invariant whiskered tori in finite-dimensional exact symplectic maps and flows. The method is based on the study of a functional equation expressing that there is an invariant torus. We…

We characterize the perimeter-minimizing double bubbles on all flat two-tori and, as corollaries, on the flat infinite cylinder and the flat infinite strip with free boundary. Specifically, we show that there are five distinct types of…

We calculate the virtually-cyclic dimension of the mapping class group of a sphere with at most six punctures. As an immediate consequence, we obtain the virtually-cyclic dimension of the mapping class group of the twice-holed torus and of…

We consider the problem of counting and classifying domino tilings of a quadriculated torus. The counting problem for rectangles was studied by Kasteleyn and we use many of his ideas. Domino tilings of planar regions can be represented by…

An n-dimensional quantum torus is a twisted group algebra of the group $\Z^n$. It is called rational if all invertible commutators are roots of unity. In the present note we describe a normal form for rational n-dimensional quantum tori…

We discuss conformal metrics of curvature 1 on tori and on the sphere, with four conic singularities whose angles are multiples of pi/2. Besides some general results we study in detail the family of such symmetric metrics on the sphere,…

We describe new arithmetic invariants for pairs of torus orbits on groups isogenous to an inner form of $\mathbf{PGL}_n$ over a number field. These invariants are constructed by studying the double quotient of a linear algebraic group by a…

In [B.Gruenbaum, G.C. Shephard, Spherical tilings with transitivity properties, in: The geometric vein, Springer, New York, 1981, pp. 65-98], they proved "for every spherical normal tiling by congruent tiles, if it is isohedral, then the…

We prove that 3-dimensional ellipsoids invariant under a 2-torus action contain infinitely many distinct immersed minimal tori, with at most one exception. These minimal tori bifurcate from the 2-torus orbit of largest volume at a dense set…

For every finite dimensional Lie group one can consider the group of all smooth loops on it, called its loop group. Such loop groups have long been studied for, among other reasons, their relations to conformal field theories and…

We have found analytical expressions (polynomials) of the percolation probability for site percolation on a square lattice of size $L \times L$ sites when considering a plane (the crossing probability in a given direction), a cylinder…

Much of dynamical algebraic combinatorics focuses on global dynamical systems defined via maps that are compositions of local toggle operators. The second author and Roby studied such maps that result from toggling independent sets of a…

The Chow polytope of an algebraic cycle in a torus depends only on its tropicalisation. Generalising this, we associate a Chow polytope to any abstract tropical variety in a tropicalised toric variety. Several significant polyhedra…

The edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals of Type $a^2bc$ are classified as $3$ classes: a sequence of two-parameter families of $2$-layer earth map tilings with $2n$ $(n\ge3)$ tiles, a one-parameter family of…
