The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that any finite subset of a lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ which tiles that lattice by translations, in fact tiles periodically. In this work we disprove this conjecture for sufficiently large $d$, which also…
We prove the every spectral set in $\mathbb{Z}_{p^2qr}$ tiles, where $p$, $q$ and $r$ are primes. Combining this with a recent result of Malikiosis we obtain that Fuglede's conjecture holds for $\mathbb{Z}_{p^2qr}$.
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…
It is broadly known that any parallelepiped tiles space by translating copies of itself along its edges. In earlier work relating to higher-dimensional sandpile groups, the second author discovered a novel construction which fragments the…
The article addresses some open questions about the relations between the topological weak mixing property and the transitivity of the map $f\times f^2 \times...\times f^m$, where $f\colon X\ra X$ is a topological dynamical system on a…
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…
The pinwheel tiling is the paradigm for a substitution tiling with circular symmetry, in the sense that the corresponding autocorrelation is circularly symmetric. As a consequence, its diffraction measure is also circularly symmetric, so…
Upon insertion of an inclusion into a medium with the uniform field, if the field is not perturbed at all outside the inclusion, then it is called a neutral inclusion. It is called a weakly neutral inclusion if the field is perturbed…
This paper presents a detailed symbolic approach to the study of self-similar tilings. It uses properties of addresses associated with graph-directed iterated function systems to establish conjugacy properties of tiling spaces. Tiles may be…
If all tiles in a tiling are congruent, the tiling is called monohedral. Tiling by convex polygons is called edge-to-edge if any two convex polygons are either disjoint or share one vertex or one entire edge in common. In this paper, we…
In this paper, we show that the subadditive dual of a feasible conic mixed-integer program (MIP) is a strong dual whenever it is feasible. Moreover, we show that this dual feasibility condition is equivalent to feasibility of the conic dual…
We have recently introduced the trimming property for a complete Riemannian manifold $N^{n}$ as a necessary and sufficient condition for bounded maps to be strongly dense in $W^{1, p}(B^m; N^{n})$ when $p \in \{1, \dotsc, m\}$. We prove in…
We consider "cubes" in products of finite cyclic groups and we study their tiling and spectral properties. (A set in a finite group is called a tile if some of its translates form a partition of the group and is called spectral if it admits…
We give a simple, elementary proof that a uniform algebra is weakly sequentially complete if and only if it is finite-dimensional.
In this paper, we study the quasisymmetric embeddability of weak tangents of metric spaces. We first show that quasisymmetric embeddability is hereditary, i.e., if $X$ can be quasisymmetrically embedded into $Y$, then every weak tangent of…
Using a connection to lozenge tilings of triangular regions, we establish an easily checkable criterion that guarantees the weak Lefschetz property of a quotient by a monomial ideal. It is also shown that each such ideal also has a…
We discuss a weak constraint qualification for conic linear programs and its applications for a few classes of cones. This constraint qualification is used to give a solution to a problem proposed by Shapiro and Z\v{a}linescu and show that…
We deploy algebraic complexity theoretic techniques for constructing symmetric determinantal representations of for00504925mulas and weakly skew circuits. Our representations produce matrices of much smaller dimensions than those given in…
We introduce the notion of a weakly reflective submanifold, which is an austere submanifold with a certain global condition, and study its fundamental properties. Using these, we determine weakly reflective orbits and austere orbits of…
We construct the algebra of fractions of a Weak Bialgebra relative to a suitable denominator set of group-like elements that is `almost central', a condition we introduce in the present article which is sufficient in order to guarantee…
