We classify 2-periodic mesh friezes of finite type $A$, $D$ or $E$ with positive real entries. There are families with 0,1, or 2 parameters, depending on type.

We prove that there is an finite number of friezes in type D_n, and we provide a formula to count them. As a corollary, we obtain formulas to count the number of friezes in types B_n, C_n and G_2. We conjecture finiteness (and precise…

Frieze patterns have an interesting combinatorial structure, which has proven very useful in the study of cluster algebras. We introduce $(k,n)$-frieze patterns, a natural generalisation of the classical notion. A generalisation of the…

Frieze patterns (in the sense of Conway and Coxeter) are related to cluster algebras of type A and to signed continuant polynomials. In view of studying certain classes of cluster algebras with coefficients, we extend the concept of signed…

We define and study a continuous version of 2-frieze patterns, a combinatorial structure closely related with frieze patterns of Coxeter and Conway. We describe the relation of continuous 2-friezes with the moduli space of projective curves…

Frieze patterns (in the sense of Conway and Coxeter) are in close connection to triangulations of polygons. Broline, Crowe and Isaacs have assigned a symmetric matrix to each polygon triangulation and computed the determinant. In this paper…

A frieze is an array of numbers obeying the unimodular rule. Coxeter showed that a frieze with integer entries corresponds to a triangulation. Recently, Holm and J{\o}rgenson introduced friezes of type $\Lambda_p$ which correspond to…

In this article, we study infinite friezes arising from cluster categories of affine type $D$ and determine the growth coefficients for these friezes. We prove that for each affine type $D$, the friezes given by the tubes all have the same…

We discuss here the geometry of frieze patterns, and add a few words about Greek vases, molecular symmetry, and 2D crystallography. The work is written primarily for school students.

Motivated by cluster ensembles, we introduce a new variant of frieze patterns associated to acyclic cluster algebras, which we call ${\bf Y}\textit{-frieze patterns}$. Using the mutation rules for ${\bf Y}$-variables, we define a large…

For a cluster algebra $\mathcal{A}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ of geometric type, a $\textit{frieze}$ of $\mathcal{A}$ is defined to be a $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra homomorphism from $\mathcal{A}$ to $\mathbb{Q}$ that takes positive integer values on all…

We exhibit two instances of the cyclic sieving phenomenon - one on dissections of a polygon of a fixed type and one on triangulations of a once-punctured polygon. We use these results to give refined enumerations of certain families of…

A frieze on a polygon is a map from the diagonals of the polygon to an integral domain which respects the Ptolemy relation. Conway and Coxeter previously studied positive friezes over $\mathbb{Z}$ and showed that they are in bijection with…

We provide a characterization of infinite frieze patterns of positive integers via triangulations of an infinite strip in the plane. In the periodic case, these triangulations may be considered as triangulations of annuli. We also give a…

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…

We show that the space of classical Coxeter's frieze patterns can be viewed as a discrete version of a coadjoint orbit of the Virasoro algebra. The canonical (cluster) (pre)symplectic form on the space of frieze patterns is a discretization…

A classic result of Conway and Coxeter on frieze patterns has been generalized to a bijection between $p$-angulations of regular polygons and frieze patterns of type $\Lambda_p$. One of the features of Conway-Coxeter theory is a…
