Let $L$ be a solvable Lie algebra of dimension less than or equal to 4 over finite fields. We compute and record, in explicit symbolic form, the zeta functions enumerating subalgebras or ideals of $L$, and study their properties. We also…

We look at sets of tiles that can tile any region of size greater than 1 on the square grid. This is not the typical tiling question, but relates closely to it and therefore can help solve other tiling problems -- we give an example of…

We consider a certain tiling problem of a planar region in which there are no long horizontal or vertical strips consisting of copies of the same tile. Intuitively speaking, we would like to create a dappled pattern with two or more kinds…

We derive results about geometric means of the Fourier modulus of filters and functions related to refinable distributions with arbitrary dilations and translations. Then we develop multi-scale constructions for dilations by…

A complex rational function R, of degree n>1, on a compact Riemann surface M provided with a cyclic order of its q critical values, determines an homogeneous tessellation of the Riemann surface M, whose 2n tiles are topological q-gons with…

Suppose $\Lambda$ is a discrete infinite set of nonnegative real numbers. We say that $ {\Lambda}$ is type $2$ if the series $s(x)=\sum_{\lambda\in\Lambda}f(x+\lambda)$ does not satisfy a zero-one law. This means that we can find a…

We derive and prove an explicit formula for the sum of the fractional parts of certain geometric series. Although the proof is straightforward, we have been unable to locate any reference to this result. This summation formula allows us to…

Starting with a substitution tiling, we demonstrate a method for constructing infinitely many new substitution tilings. Each of these new tilings is derived from a graph iterated function system and the tiles have fractal boundary. We show…

We consider tilings of a rectangle which is n units wide and m units long by non-overlapping 1 X 1 squares and s X s squares. Bivariate generating functions are computed with the Transfer Matrix Method for moderately large but fixed widths…

It is well known that the Riemann zeta function, as well as several other $L$-functions, is universal in the strip $1/2<\sigma<1$; this is certainly not true for $\sigma>1$. Answering a question of Bombieri and Ghosh, we give a simple…

Lifting theorems are theorems that bound the communication complexity of a composed function $f\circ g^{n}$ in terms of the query complexity of $f$ and the communication complexity of $g$. Such theorems constitute a powerful generalization…

It is proved that every pseudo-self-affine tiling in R^d is mutually locally derivable with a self-affine tiling. A characterization of pseudo-self-similar tilings in terms of derived Voronoi tessellations is a corollary. Previously, these…

We apply tilting theory over preprojective algebras $Lambda$ to a study of moduli space of $Lambda$-modules. We define the categories of semistable modules and give an equivalence, so-called reflection functors, between them by using…

We exhibit a subset of a finite Abelian group, which tiles the group by translation, and such that its tiling complements do not have a common spectrum (orthogonal basis for their $L^2$ space consisting of group characters). This disproves…

This paper is devoted to a weighted version of the one-level density of the non-trivial zeros of $L$-functions, tilted by a power of the $L$-function evaluated at the central point. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and the ratio conjecture,…

This expository essay discusses a finite dimensional approach to dilation theory. How much of dilation theory can be worked out within the realm of linear algebra? It turns out that some interesting and simple results can be obtained. These…

We count tilings of the $n \times m$ rectangular grid, cylinder, and torus with arbitrary tile sets up to arbitrary symmetries of the square and rectangle, along with cyclic shifting of rows and columns. This provides a unifying framework…

An h-tiling on a finite simplicial complex is a partition of its geometric realization by maximal simplices deprived of several codimension one faces together with possibly their remaining face of highest codimension. In this last case, the…

A classical approach to investigate a closed projective scheme $W$ consists of considering a general hyperplane section of $W$, which inherits many properties of $W$. The inverse problem that consists in finding a scheme $W$ starting from a…

We prove that if a translating soliton can be expressed as the sum of two curves and one of these curves is planar, then the other curve is also planar and consequently the surface must be a plane or a grim reaper. We also investigate…
