We study a family of substitution tilings with similar right triangles of two sizes which is obtained using the substitution rule introduced in [Danzer, L. and van Ophuysen, G. A species of planar triangular tilings with inflation factor…
This is a chapter in an incoming book on aperiodic order. We review results about the topology, the dynamics, and the combinatorics of aperiodically ordered tilings obtained with the tools of noncommutative geometry.
A plane tiling consisting of congruent copies of a shape is isohedral provided that for any pair of copies, there exists a symmetry of the tiling mapping one copy to the other. We give a $O(n\log^2{n})$-time algorithm for deciding if 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 study and classify the emergence of protected edge modes at the junction of one-dimensional materials. Using symmetries of Lagrangian planes in boundary symplectic spaces, we present a novel proof of the periodic table of topological…
We classify the dihedral edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by regular polygons and quadrilaterals with equal opposite edges (edge configuration xyxy).
A new family of decagonal quasiperiodic tilings are constructed by the use of generalized point substitution processes, which is a new substitution formalism developed by the author [N. Fujita, Acta Cryst. A 65, 342 (2009)]. These tilings…
We present a method for generating hexagonal aperiodic tilings that are topologically equivalent to the triangular and dice lattices. This approach incorporates aperiodic sequences into the spacing between three sets of grids for the…
We study $C^1$-regular surfaces in $R^3$ that admit tilings by a finite number of rigid motion congruence classes of tiles. We construct examples with various topologies and present a framework for a systematic study, mainly concentrating…
We call "flippable tilings" of a constant curvature surface a tiling by "black" and "white" faces, so that each edge is adjacent to two black and two white faces (one of each on each side), the black face is forward on the right side and…
We classify all edge-to-edge spherical isohedral 4-gonal tilings such that the skeletons are pseudo-double wheels. For this, we characterize these spherical tilings by a quadratic equation for the cosine of an edge-length. By the…
The tilings of the 2-dimensional sphere by congruent triangles have been extensively studied, and the edge-to-edge tilings have been completely classified. However, not much is known about the tilings by other congruent polygons. In this…
A tile Hamiltonian (TH) replaces the actual atomic interactions in a quasicrystal with effective interactions between and within tiles. We study Al-Co-Ni and Al-Co-Cu decagonal quasicrystals described as decorated Hexagon-Boat-Star (HBS)…
We generalize the notion of (geometric) substitution rule to obtain overlapping substitutions. Our motivating example is the substitution presented in Ziherl, Dotera and Bekku \cite{DBZ}, which features a substitution matrix with…
In contrast to many known results concerning periodic tilings of the Euclidean plane with pentagons, here tilings with rotational symmetry are investigated. A certain class of convex pentagons is introduced. It can be shown that for any…
We say that a triangle $T$ tiles a polygon $A$, if $A$ can be dissected into finitely many nonoverlapping triangles similar to $T$. We show that if $N>42$, then there are at most three nonsimilar triangles $T$ such that the angles of $T$…
We regard a smooth, $d=2$-dimensional manifold $\mathcal{M}$ and its normal tiling $M$, the cells of which may have non-smooth or smooth vertices (at the latter, two edges meet at 180 degrees.) We denote the average number (per cell) of…
Which polygons admit two (or more) distinct lattice tilings of the plane? We call such polygons double tiles. It is well-known that a lattice tiling is always combinatorially isomorphic either to a grid of squares or to a grid of regular…
Cao & Yuan obtained a Blichfeldt-type result for the vertex set of the edge-to-edge tiling of the plane by regular hexagons. Observing that every Archimedean tiling is the union of translates of a fixed lattice, we take a more general…
This paper is about the tiling dynamical systems approach to the study of aperiodic order. We compare and contrast four related types of systems: ordinary (one-dimensional) symbolic systems, one-dimensional tiling systems, multidimensional…
