We give a thorough analysis of those subgroups of SO(3) generated by rotations about perpendicular axes by 2\pi/p and 2\pi/q. A corollary is that such a group is the free product of the cyclic groups of rotations about the separate axes if…
This work presents the tessellations and polytopes from the perspective of both n-dimensional geometry and abstract symmetry groups. It starts with a brief introduction to the terminology and a short motivation. In the first part, it…
Non-periodic tilings with Tile(1, 1) using the substitution method, as presented by Smith et al. in [2] and [3], can be converted into non-periodic tilings with three types of pentagons. When arbitrary replacements are excluded, the…
A convex pentagonal tile is a convex pentagon that admits a monohedral tiling. We show that a convex pentagonal tile that admits a periodic tiling has a property in which the sum of three internal angles of the pentagon is equal to…
We derive new relationships expressing solid spherical harmonics as series of toroidal harmonics and vice versa. The expansions include regular and irregular spherical harmonics, ring and axial toroidal harmonics of even and odd parity…
In this paper the double-sided Talor's approximations are used to obtain generalisations and improvements of some trigonometric inequalities.
This paper (written in Russian) presents a survey of new and earlier results on fine zonotopal tilings (briefly, cubillages) of cyclic zonotopes. The combinatorial theory of these objects is of interest in its own right and also has a…
Proctor's work on staircase plane partitions yields an enumeration of lozenge tilings of a halved hexagon on the triangular lattice. Rohatgi later extended this tiling enumeration to a halved hexagon with a triangle cut off from the…
Some combinatorial properties of fixed boundary rhombus random tilings with octagonal symmetry are studied. A geometrical analysis of their configuration space is given as well as a description in terms of discrete dynamical systems, thus…
We introduce and study the number of tilings of unit height rectangles with irrational tiles. We prove that the class of sequences of these numbers coincides with the class of diagonals of N-rational generating functions and a class of…
We define an elementary relatively $\mathbb Z/4$ graded Lagrangian-Floer chain complex for restricted immersions of compact 1-manifolds into the pillowcase, and apply it to the intersection diagram obtained by taking traceless $SU(2)$…
A projective rectangle is like a projective plane that has different lengths in two directions. We develop the basic theory of projective rectangles including incidence properties, projective subplanes, configuration counts, a partial…
Considering quantales as generalised noncommutative spaces, we address as an example a quantale Pen based on the Penrose tilings of the plane. We study in general the representations of involutive quantales on those of binary relations, and…
The enumeration of lozenge tilings of hexagons with holes has been studied intensively in recent years. Researchers tried to find shapes and positions of holes in hexagonal regions so that the number of lozenge tilings of the resulting…
We discuss the relationship between tight and cover-to-join representations of semilattices and inverse semigroups, showing that a slight extension of the former, together with an appropriate selection of co-domains, makes the two notions…
We introduce an elementary transformation called flips on tilings by squares and triangles and conjecture that it connects any two tilings of the same region of the Euclidean plane.
We give a geometric construction of tilting perverse sheaves using stratified Morse theory, torus actions, and nearby cycles.
We present aperiodic sets of prototiles whose shapes are based on the well-known Penrose rhomb tiling. Some decorated prototiles lead to an exact Penrose rhomb tiling without any matching rules. We also give an approximate solution to an…
Two new series of substitution tilings are introduced in which the tiles appear in infinitely many orientations. It is shown that several properties of the well-known pinwheel tiling do also hold for these new examples, and, in fact, for…
Let a polygon be composed of equal rectangles. We find all quadratic irrationals r for which the polygon can be tiled by similar rectangles with given side ratio r.
