Moir\'e patterns of twisted and scaled bilayers have recently emerged as a fertile source of quasiperiodic order in two-dimensional materials. Inspired by these systems, we introduce the \emph{near-coincidence method} for generating…
We introduce rational Dyck tilings, or $(a,b)$-Dyck tilings, and study them by the decomposition into $(1,1)$-Dyck tilings. This decomposition allows us to make use of combinatorial models for $(1,1)$-Dyck tilings such as the Hermite…
We classify edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent pentagons with the edge combination $a^4b$ and with rational angles in degree: they are a one-parameter family of symmetric $a^4b$-pentagonal subdivisions of the tetrahedron with…
We consider the scaling properties characterizing the hyperuniformity (or anti-hyperuniformity) of long wavelength fluctuations in a broad class of one-dimensional substitution tilings. We present a simple argument that predicts the…
Aperiodic tiling is a well-know area of research. First developed by mathematicians for the mathematical challenge they represent and the beauty of their resulting patterns, they became a growing field of interest when their practical use…
All edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent regular triangles and congruent rhombi are classified as: (1) a $1$-parameter family of protosets each admitting a unique $(2a^3,3a^4)$-tiling like a triangular prism; (2) a $1$-parameter…
We apply some methods and technique of complex dynamics to study the set of symmetries of attractors of holomorphic Iterated Function Systems (IFS), as well as relations between IFS sharing the same attractor.
We consider geometric triangulations of surfaces, i.e., triangulations whose edges can be realized by disjoint locally geodesic segments. We prove that the flip graph of geometric triangulations with fixed vertices of a flat torus or a…
Iterated function systems (IFSs) and their attractors have been central to the theory of fractal geometry almost from its inception. And contractivity of the functions in the IFS has been central to the theory of iterated functions systems.…
Suppose that A is a finite set of integers of diameter D. Suppose also that the set of integers B is such that A+B is a tiling of the integers, that is each integer is uniquely expressible as a+b, with a in A, b in B. It is well known that…
Let $X$ be a measure space with a measure-preserving action $(g,x) \mapsto g \cdot x$ of an abelian group $G$. We consider the problem of understanding the structure of measurable tilings $F \odot A = X$ of $X$ by a measurable tile $A…
We show that any codimension one hyperbolic attractor of a diffeomorphism of a (d+1)-dimensional closed manifold is shape equivalent to a (d+1)-dimensional torus with a finite number of points removed, or, in the non-orientable case, to a…
An interesting class of automatic sequences emerges from iterated paperfolding. The sequences generate curves in the plane with an almost periodic structure. We generalize the results obtained by Davis and Knuth on the self-avoiding and…
We define 2-dimensional topological substitutions. A tiling of the Euclidean plane, or of the hyperbolic plane, is substitutive if the underlying 2-complex can be obtained by iteration of a 2-dimensional topological substitution. We prove…
A group-theoretical approach to the construction of quasiperiodic tilings of a Euclidean plane, possessing five-fold symmetry, is applied. Of the infinitely many of variants of quasiperiodic partitions of the plane, possessing the dihedral…
Triangle presentations are combinatorial structures on finite projective geometries which characterize groups acting simply transitively on the vertices of a locally finite building of type $\tilde{\text{A}}_{n-1}$ ($n\ge3$). From a type…
On a 4-dimensional compact symplectic manifold, we study how suitable perturbations of a toric system to a family of completely integrable systems with $\mathbb{S}^1$-symmetry lead to various hyperbolic-regular singularities. We compute and…
This paper examines thresholds for certain properties of the attractor of a general one-parameter affine family of iterated functions systems. As the parameter increases, the iterated function system becomes less contractive, and the…
We prove that for any infinite countable amenable group $G$, any $\epsilon > 0$ and any finite subset $K\subset G$, there exists a tiling (partition of $G$ into finite "tiles" using only finitely many "shapes"), where all the tiles are $(K;…
We prove that any finite set $F\subset {\mathbb{Z}^2}$ that tiles ${\mathbb{Z}^2}$ by translations also admits a periodic tiling. As a consequence, the problem whether a given finite set $F$ tiles ${\mathbb{Z}^2}$ is decidable.
