We study classes of graded structures satisfying the properties of amalgamation, joint embedding and hereditariness. Given appropriate conditions, we can build a graded analogue of the Fraisse limit. Some examples such as the class of all…
MacMahon enumerated the plane partitions in an $a \times b \times c$ box. These are in bijection to lozenge tilings of a hexagon, to certain perfect matchings, and to families of non-intersecting lattice paths. In this work we consider more…
We develop a geometric framework for generalized Milnor classifying spaces in the setting of diffeological spaces and infinite-dimensional geometry. Starting from Milnor's construction, we introduce spherical and projective models endowed…
Given one of an infinite class of supersymmetric quiver gauge theories, string theorists can associate a corresponding toric variety (which is a Calabi-Yau 3-fold) as well as an associated combinatorial model known as a brane tiling. In…
Motivated by the bijection between Schnyder labelings of a plane triangulation and partitions of its inner edges into three trees, we look for binary labelings for quadrangulations (whose edges can be partitioned into two trees). Our…
This paper constructs (with challenging obstacles) on the three torus with its cubical decomposition: Firstly, a combinatorial graded intersection algebra (graded by the codimension) which is commutative and associative defined by…
This article addresses the problem of enumerating the tilings of a plane by lozenges, under the restriction that these tilings be doubly periodic. Kasteleyn's Pfaffian method is applied to compute the generating function of those…
The aim of the article is to understand the combinatorics of snake graphs by means of linear algebra. In particular, we apply Kasteleyn's and Temperley--Fisher's ideas about spectral properties of weighted adjacency matrices of planar…
In this paper, we develop the mathematical tools needed to explore isotopy classes of tilings on hyperbolic surfaces of finite genus, possibly nonorientable, with boundary, and punctured. More specifically, we generalize results on…
We introduce a family of 3-variable "Farey polynomials" that are closely connected with the geometry and topology of $3$-manifolds and orbifolds as they can be used to produce concrete realisations of the boundaries and local coordinates…
We introduce a new class of algebraic varieties which we call frieze varieties. Each frieze variety is determined by an acyclic quiver. The frieze variety is defined in an elementary recursive way by constructing a set of points in affine…
With a 4-ended tangle $T$, we associate a Heegaard Floer invariant $\operatorname{CFT^\partial}(T)$, the peculiar module of $T$. Based on Zarev's bordered sutured Heegaard Floer theory, we prove a glueing formula for this invariant which…
We count tilings of a rectangle of integer sides m-1 and n-1 by a special set of tiles. The result is obtained fron the study of the kernel of the adjacency matrix of an n x n rectangular graph of Z x Z.
Defant, Li, Propp, and Young recently resolved two enumerative conjectures of Propp concerning the tilings of regions in the hexagonal grid called benzels using two types of prototiles called stones and bones (with varying constraints on…
This is a review (including some background material) of the author's work and related activity on certain exactly solvable statistical models in two dimensions, including the six-vertex model, loop models and lozenge tilings. Applications…
There is a natural bijection between Dyck paths and basis diagrams of the Temperley-Lieb algebra defined via tiling. Overhang paths are certain generalisations of Dyck paths allowing more general steps but restricted to a rectangle in the…
Cluster categories and cluster algebras encode two dimensional structures. For instance, the Auslander--Reiten quiver of a cluster category can be drawn on a surface, and there is a class of cluster algebras determined by surfaces with…
We study factoriality and the class groups of locally acyclic cluster algebras. To do so, we introduce a new class of rings called finite Laurent intersection rings (FLIRs), which includes locally acyclic cluster algebras, full-rank upper…
All edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent regular triangles and congruent rhombi are classified as: (1) a $1$-parameter family of protosets each admitting a unique $(2a^3,3a^4)$-tiling like a triangular prism; (2) a $1$-parameter…
We present a braid-theoretic approach to combinatorially computing knot Floer homology. To a knot or link K, which is braided about the standard disk open book decomposition for (S^3,\xi_std), we associate a corresponding multi-pointed nice…
