A family of spherical caps of the 2-dimensional unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ is called a totally separable packing in short, a TS-packing if any two spherical caps can be separated by a great circle which is disjoint from the interior of each…
In this paper we give a unified approach in categorical setting to the problem of finding the Galois closure of a finite cover, which includes as special cases the familiar finite separable field extensions, finite unramified covers of a…
Let V be a finite set of points in Euclidean d-space (d >= 2). The intersection of all unit balls B(v,1) centered at v, where v ranges over V, henceforth denoted by B(V) is the ball polytope associated with V. Note that B(V) is non-empty…
A simple closed curve in the Euclidean plane is said to have property C_n(R) if at each point we can inscribe a unique regular $n$-gon with edges length $R$. C_2(R) is equivalent to having constant diameter. We show that smooth curves…
We give a construction of a self-similar tiling of the plane with any prescribed expansion coefficient $\lambda\in\C$ (satisfying the necessary algebraic condition of being a complex Perron number). For any integer $m>1$ we show that there…
The gravity-capillary problem with inclined walls is a problem that describes an open fluid flowing over an angled wall. It has broad applications in science and engineering. In this paper, we study the steady states of the two-dimensional…
We show that for every convex polyhedral sphere $P$ in $S^3$, there exist two canonical, non-edge-to-edge tilings of $S^{2}$ whose tiles are given by all the faces of $P$ and the dual convex polyhedral sphere $P^*$ to $P$. Under the…
Given a normed plane $\mathcal{P}$, we call $\mathcal{P}$-cycloids the planar curves which are homothetic to their double $\mathcal{P}$-evolutes. It turns out that the radius of curvature and the support function of a $\mathcal{P}$-cycloid…
Penrose tilings form lattices, exhibiting 5-fold symmetry and isotropic elasticity, with inhomogeneous coordination much like that of the force networks in jammed systems. Under periodic boundary conditions, their average coordination is…
We describe a method to classify crystallographic tilings of the Euclidean and hyperbolic planes by tiles whose stabiliser group contains translation isometries or whose topology is not that of a closed disk. We tackle this problem from two…
We prove that the maximal graph-density of an independent set in a Penrose P3 tiling considered as a planar non-directed graph is equal to $(57 - 25 \sqrt{5})/2 \approx 0.54915$ despite the fact that the graph is bipartite. Accordingly, the…
Given a triangulation of a closed topological cube, we show that (under some technical condition) there is an essentially unique tiling of a rectangular parallelepiped by cubes, indexed by the vertices of the triangulation. Moreover, i -…
We study a new formulation for the eikonal equation |grad u| =1 on a bounded subset of R^2. Considering a field P of orthogonal projections onto 1-dimensional subspaces, with divergence bounded in L^2, we prove existence and uniqueness for…
Non-periodic tilings with Tile(1, 1) using the substitution method, as presented by Smith et al. in [2] and [3], can be converted into non-periodic tilings with three types of pentagons. When arbitrary replacements are excluded, the…
The $R$-hulloid, in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$, of the set of vertices $V$ of a tetrahedron $T$ is the minimal closed set containing $V$ such that its complement is the union of open balls of radius $R$. When $R$ is greater than the…
In a recent letter, Stenull and Lubensky claim that periodic approximants of Penrose tilings, which are generically isostatic, have a nonzero bulk modulus B when disordered, and, therefore, Penrose tilings are good models of jammed…
Suppose $M$ is a closed, connected, orientable, \irr\ \3m\ such that $G=\pi_1(M)$ is infinite. One consequence of Thurston's geometrization conjecture is that the universal covering space $\widetilde{M}$ of $M$ must be \homeo\ to $\RRR$.…
The Gauss Circle Problem concerns finding asymptotics for the number of lattice point lying inside a circle in terms of the radius of the circle. The heuristic that the number of points is very nearly the area of the circle is surprisingly…
We prove that a 3--dimensional hyperbolic cusp with convex polyhedral boundary is uniquely determined by its Gauss image. Furthermore, any spherical metric on the torus with cone singularities of negative curvature and all closed…
After having investigated the regular prisms and prism tilings in the $\SLR$ space in the previous work \cite{Sz13-1} of the second author, we consider the problem of geodesic ball packings related to those tilings and their symmetry groups…
