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…
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…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian Henselian local ring. Denote by $\mathrm{mod} R$ the category of finitely generated $R$-modules, and by ${\mathcal G}$ the full subcategory of $\mathrm{mod} R$ consisting of all G-projective $R$-modules.…
We develop the necessary machinery in order to prove that hexagonal tilings are uniquely determined by their Tutte polynomial, showing as an example how to apply this technique to the toroidal hexagonal tiling.
A topological group $G$ is extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. Using the concentration of measure techniques developed by Gromov and Milman, we prove that the group of automorphisms of…
We establish a structure theorem for the family of Ammann A2 tilings of the plane. Using that theorem we show that every Ammann A2 tiling is self-similar in the sense of [B. Solomyak, Nonperiodicity implies unique composition for…
For a locally compact abelian group $G$ a simple proof is given for the known fact that a bounded domain $\Omega$ tiles $G$ with translations by a lattice $\Lambda$ if and only if the set of characters of $G$ indexed by the dual lattice of…
In this paper, exact Hausdorff dimension formulas for a class of self-affine attractors generated by affine Iterated Function Systems are derived. We consider systems containing an affine map whose $n$-th iterate is a similarity…
In the present paper we investigate the mechanics of systems of affinely-rigid bodies, i.e., bodies rigid in the sense of affine geometry. Certain physical applications are possible in modelling of molecular crystals, granular media, and…
Let $\mathcal F$ be a holomorphic foliation on a compact K\'ahler surface with hyperbolic singularities and no foliation cycle. We prove that if the limit set of $\mathcal F$ has zero Lebesgue measure, then its complement is a modification…
We say that a function $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R})$ tiles at level $w$ by a discrete translation set $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}$, if we have $\sum_{\lambda \in \Lambda} f(x-\lambda)=w$ a.e. In this paper we survey the main results, and prove…
In this paper, we propose to enumerate all different configurations belonging to a specific class of fractals: A binary initial tile is selected and a finite recursive tiling process is engaged to produce auto-similar binary patterns. For…
We consider the pointwise approximation of a subharmonic function by the logarithm of the modulus of an entire function up to a bounded quantity. In the case of finite order an estimate from below of the planar Lebesgue measure of an…
A notion of heaps of modules as an affine version of modules over a ring or, more generally, over a truss, is introduced and studied. Basic properties of heaps of modules are derived. Examples arising from geometry (connections, affine…
We study amenability of affine algebras (based on the notion of almost-invariant finite-dimensional subspace), and apply it to algebras associated with finitely generated groups. We show that a group G is amenable if and only if its group…
We discuss problems of simultaneous tiling. This means that we have an object (set, function) which tiles space with two or more different sets of translations. The most famous problem of this type is the Steinhaus problem which asks for a…
We extend Falconer's 1988 landmark result on the dimensions of self-affine fractals to encompass the dimensions of their projections, showing furthermore that their families of exceptional projections contain algebraic varieties which are…
Let $E, F\subset {\Bbb R}^d$ be two self-similar sets, and suppose that $F$ can be affinely embedded into $E$. Under the assumption that $E$ is dust-like and has a small Hausdorff dimension, we prove the logarithmic commensurability between…
The family of right-angled tiling links consists of links built from regular 4-valent tilings of constant-curvature surfaces that contain one or two types of tiles. The complements of these links admit complete hyperbolic structures and…
We consider a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold V with a metric g and an affinor structure q. The local coordinates of these tensors are circulant matrices. In V we define an almost conformal transformation. Using that definition we…
