An irregular vertex in a tiling by polygons is a vertex of one tile and belongs to the interior of an edge of another tile. In this paper we show that for any integer $k\geq 3$, there exists a normal tiling of the Euclidean plane by convex…
Let $L$ be a closed totally real submanifold of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$, $n\ge 2$, which is not Lagrangian. We observe that small enough tubular neighborhoods of $L$ give exotic examples of weak fillings of $ST^{\ast}L$ endowed with its standard…
In this thesis we will present and discuss various results pertaining to tiling problems and mathematical logic, specifically computability theory. We focus on Wang prototiles, as defined in [32]. We begin by studying Domino Problems, and…
We study the problem of perfect tiling in the plane and exploring the possibility of tiling a rectangle using integral distinct squares. Assume a set of distinguishable squares (or equivalently a set of distinct natural numbers) is given,…
We prove that there exists a residual set of (non-rational) polygons such the billiard flow is weakly mixing with respect to the Liouville measure (on the unit tangent bundle to the billiard). This follows, via a Baire category argument,…
We study the minimal complexity of tilings of a plane with a given tile set. We note that every tile set admits either no tiling or some tiling with O(n) Kolmogorov complexity of its n-by-n squares. We construct tile sets for which this…
We prove existence of weak solutions (in the probabilistic sense) for a general class of stochastic semilinear wave equations on bounded domains of $R^d$ driven by a possibly discontinuous square integrable martingale.
Topological defects, such as disclination lines in nematic liquid crystals, are fundamental to many physical systems and applications. In this work, we study the behavior of nematic disclinations in thin parallel-plate geometries with…
We derive local boundedness estimates for weak solutions of a large class of second order quasilinear equations. The structural assumptions imposed on an equation in the class allow vanishing of the quadratic form associated with its…
Shear fields due to weak gravitational lensing have characteristic coherent patterns. We describe the topological defects in shear fields in terms of the curvature of the surface described by the lensing potential. A simple interpretation…
We completely characterize rational polygons whose billiard flow is weakly mixing in almost every direction as those which are not almost integrable, in the terminology of Gutkin, modulo some low complexity exceptions. This proves a…
We discuss the role of weakly normal formulas in the theory of thorn forking, as part of a commentary on the paper "Thorn forking and stable forking" by Ealy and Onshuus (Rev. acad. colomb. cienc. exact. fis. nat. vol.40 no.157 Bogot\'a…
We introduce a partial decidability protocol for the Wang tiling problem (which is the prototype of undecidable problems in combinatorics and statistical physics) by constructing a suitable mapping from tilings of finite squares of…
We discuss the relation of tiling, weak tiling and spectral sets in finite abelian groups. In particular, in elementary $p$-groups $(\mathbb{Z}_p)^d$, we introduce an averaging procedure that leads to a natural object of study: a 4-tuple of…
We propose the notions of uniform local weak o-minimality and $*$-local weak o-minimality. Local monotonicity theorems hold in definably complete locally o-minimal structures and uniformly locally o-minimal structures of the second kind. In…
We study tilings of the plane composed of two repeating tiles of different assigned areas relative to an arbitrary periodic lattice. We classify isoperimetric configurations (i.e., configurations with minimal length of the interfaces) both…
We prove a weak-type estimate for a class of operators extending some of the almost orthogonality issues involved in the study of the bilinear Hilbert transform by Lacey and Thiele.
We construct partitions of rectangles into smaller rectangles from an input consisting of a planar dual graph of the layout together with restrictions on the orientations of edges and junctions of the layout. Such an orientation-constrained…
We completely characterize the weak differentiability (or, in other words Gateaux differentiability) of the norm in the spaces of bounded multilinear maps. Also, we obtain a multilinear generalization of the well-known Bhatia-\v{S}emrl…
A new method for constructing aperiodic tilings is presented. The method is illustrated by constructing a particular tiling and its hull. The properties of this tiling and the hull are studied. In particular it is shown that these tilings…
