In the study of aperiodic order and mathematical models of quasicrystals, questions regarding equivalence relations on Delone sets naturally arise. This work is dedicated to the bounded displacement (BD) equivalence relation, and especially…
We study separated nets that correspond to substitution tilings of the Euclidean space. We give a simple condition, in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenspaces of the substitution matrix, to know whether the separated net is a bounded…
In this paper, we study tilings of $\mathbb Z$, that is, coverings of $\mathbb Z$ by disjoint sets (tiles). Let $T=\{d_1,\ldots, d_s\}$ be a given multiset of distances. Is it always possible to tile $\mathbb Z$ by tiles, for which the…
The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that any finite subset of a lattice $\mathbb{Z^d}$ which tiles that lattice by translations, in fact tiles periodically. We announce here a disproof of this conjecture for sufficiently large $d$, which…
The class of Cyclotomic Aperiodic Substitution Tilings (CAST) is introduced. Its vertices are supported on the 2n-th cyclotomic field. It covers a wide range of known aperiodic substitution tilings of the plane with finite rotations.…
In this second paper, we study the case of substitution tilings of R^d. The substitution on tiles induces substitutions on the faces of the tiles of all dimensions j=0, ..., d-1. We reconstruct the tiling's equivalence relation in a purely…
When $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is represented as a finite disjoint union of translated integer sublattices, the translated sublattices must possess some special properties. Such a representation is called a \emph{lattice tiling}. We develop a…
The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that any finite subset of a lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ which tiles that lattice by translations, in fact tiles periodically. In this work we disprove this conjecture for sufficiently large $d$, which also…
Suppose L and M are full-rank lattices in Euclidean space, such that vol(L) < vol(M). Answering a question of Han and Wang from 2001, we show how to construct a bounded measurable set F (we can even take F to be a finite union of polytopes)…
In this paper we adapt work of Z.-D. Liu to prove a ball covering property for non-branching $\mathsf{CD}$ spaces with nonnegative curvature outside a compact set. As a consequence we obtain uniform bounds on the number of ends of such…
A More Sums Than Differences (MSTD) set is a finite set of integers $A$ where the cardinality of its sumset, $A+A$, is greater than the cardinality of its difference set, $A-A$. We address a problem posed by Samuel Allen Alexander that asks…
In this paper we prove that, for any integer $d>0$, every linearly repetitive Delone set in the Euclidean $d$-space $\RR^d$ is equivalent, up to a bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism, to the integer lattice $\ZZ^d$. In the particular case when the…
The main result of this paper is Theorem. For every integer $d\geqslant 2$ the set of biLipschitz classes in $\mathbb{E}^d$ has cardinality continuum.
Multidimensional combinatorial substitutions are rules that replace symbols by finite patterns of symbols in $\mathbb Z^d$. We focus on the case where the patterns are not necessarily rectangular, which requires a specific description of…
Brauer and Thrall conjectured that a finite-dimensional algebra over a field of bounded representation type is actually of finite representation type and a finite-dimensional algebra (over an infinite field) of infinite representation type…
A topological space $X$ is called resolvable if it contains a dense subset with dense complement. Using only basic principles, we show that whenever the space $X$ has a resolving subset that can be written as an at most countably infinite…
If a partition of a lattice in R^d is selfsimilar, it is called lattice substitution system (LSS). Such sets represent nonperiodic, but highly ordered structures. An important property of such structures is, whether they are model sets or…
The paper concerns the problem whether a nonseparable $\C(K)$ space must contain a set of unit vectors whose cardinality equals to the density of $\C(K)$ such that the distances between every two distinct vectors are always greater than…
Using the theory of fixed point index, we discuss the existence and multiplicity of non-negative solutions of a wide class of boundary value problems with coupled nonlinear boundary conditions. Our approach is fairly general and covers a…
Given a finite subset $F$ of integer points in $\mathbb Z^d$, it is of interest to seek conditions on $F$ that allow it to multi-tile $\mathbb Z^d$ by translations. To this end, we give a discretized version of the Bombieri-Siegel formula,…
