The present paper is a new version of the arXiv paper revisiting the proof given in a previous paper of the author published in 2008 proving that the general tiling problem of the hyperbolic plane is undecidable by proving a slightly…

The hexagon is the least-perimeter tile in the Euclidean plane. On hyperbolic surfaces, the isoperimetric problem differs for every given area. Cox conjectured that a regular $k$-gonal tile with 120-degree angles is isoperimetric for its…

Identifying parallel sides of a collection of Euclidean polygons yields a flat surface with cone points of angles multiples of 2 pi, naturally a compact Riemann surface but also an algebraic curve, and a hyperbolic surface. In general two…

We wish to draw attention to an interesting and promising interaction of two theories. On the one hand, it is the theory of \textbf{pseudo-triangulations} which was useful for implicit solution of thecarpenter's rule problem and proved…

A semi-regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane is a tessellation by regular geodesic polygons with the property that each vertex has the same vertex-type, which is a cyclic tuple of integers that determine the number of sides of the polygons…

In this note, using some regular triangular tilings of the sphere, the Euclidean plane and the hyperbolic plane, we examine the potential relationship between their discrete Bakry - Emery curvatures and the smooth curvatures of their…

Edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals are completely classified in a series of three papers. This second one applies the powerful tool of trigonometric Diophantine equations to classify the case of…

Generalizing pseudospherical drawings, we introduce a new class of simple drawings, which we call separable drawings. In a separable drawing, every edge can be closed to a simple curve that intersects each other edge at most once. Curves of…

A tiling of the sphere by triangles, squares, or hexagons is convex if every vertex has at most 6, 4, or 3 polygons adjacent to it, respectively. Assigning an appropriate weight to any tiling, our main result is explicit formulas for the…

A Euclidean (or hyperbolic) circle packing on a closed triangulated surface with prescribed inversive distance is locally determined by its cone angles. We prove this by applying a variational principle.

In this paper we give a complete description about normal monohedral tilings of a convex disc with smooth boundary where we have at most three topological discs as tiles. This result is a far-reaching generalization of the results of…

A packing of translates of a convex domain in the Euclidean plane is said to be totally separable if any two packing elements can be separated by a line disjoint from the interior of every packing element. This notion was introduced by G.…

On a flat plane, convexity of a set is preserved by both radial expansion and contraction of the set about any point inside it. Using the Poincar\'e disk model of hyperbolic geometry, we prove that radial expansion of a hyperbolic convex…

We study coarse separation in one-ended hyperbolic groups from a quantitative point of view, focusing on the volume growth of separating subsets. We prove that a one-ended hyperbolic group that is not virtually a surface group is coarsely…

We discuss several ways of packing a hyperbolic surface with circles (of either varying radii or all being congruent) or horocycles, and note down some observations related to their symmetries (or the absence thereof).
