Aperiodic tilings are non-periodic tilings defined by local rules. They are widely used to model quasicrystals, and a central question is to understand which of the non-periodic tilings are actually aperiodic. Among tilings, those by rhombi…

Spectrum is an important numerical invariant of an isolated hypersurface singularity, connecting its topological and analytic structures. The well-known Hertling conjecture tells the relation of range and variance of exponents i.e. elements…

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…

We study the moduli spaces of rational curves on cubic hypersurfaces in characteristic $\neq2,3$. As a result, we prove that for every integer $d\geq1$ the Kontsevich moduli space of stable maps on a smooth cubic hypersurface $X$ of degree…

The exponential kernel \[E{g}(\lambda,w) = \exp -\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{\mathbb{C} } \frac{g(u)}{\overline{u-w} (u-\lambda) } da(u ),\] where the compactly supported bounded measurable function $g$ satisfies $0 \leq g\leq 1,$ and suitably…

While it is a classical result dating back to Dehn (1903) that squares composing a perfect rectangle must have rational side lengths, the arithmetic complexity of these tilings, specifically the growth of the denominators of these rational…

Let $\Omega$ be a compact convex domain in the plane. We prove that $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthogonal basis of exponentials if and only if $\Omega$ tiles the plane by translation.

We present explicit formulae for q-exponentials on quantum spaces which could be of particular importance in physics, i.e. the q-deformed Minkowski-space and the q-deformed Euclidean space with two, three or four dimensions. Furthermore,…

We study the electronic energy spectra and wave functions on the square Fibonacci tiling, using an off-diagonal tight-binding model, in order to determine the exact nature of the transitions between different spectral behaviors, as well as…

We construct an interesting topological cover of the multiplicative group of the real line, related to Tate's elliptic curve with $q = e^\pi$. We use the language of homological algebra, 2D Lorentz geometry and high-school trigonometry; the…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic. If $M$ is a finite dimensional $G$-module that is projective over the Frobenius kernel of $G$, then its character is divisible by the character…

In this study, we give the relationships between the conical curvatures of ruled surfaces drawn by the unit vectors of the ruling, central normal and central tangent of a regular ruled surface in the Euclidean -space. We obtain the…

In this paper, we compute irreducible components which appear in the stable reduction of the Lubin-Tate curve of level two, in the mixed characteristic case. We also compute the action of the central division algebra of invariant 1/2, the…

We consider tilings of Euclidean spaces by polygons or polyhedra, in particular, tilings made by a substitution process, such as the Penrose tilings of the plane. We define an isomorphism invariant related to a subgroup of rotations and…

We introduce an elementary transformation called flips on tilings by squares and triangles and conjecture that it connects any two tilings of the same region of the Euclidean plane.

We construct a tilting object for the stable category of vector bundles on a weighted projective line X of type (2,2,2,2;\lambda), consisting of five rank two bundles and one rank three bundle, whose endomorphism algebra is a canonical…

Given a normal surface singularity $(X, Q)$ and a birational morphism to a non- singular surface $\pi : X \to S$, we investigate the local geometry of the exceptional divisor $L$ of $\pi$. We prove that the dimension of the tangent space to…

The electrodynamics of topological insulators (TIs) is described by modified Maxwell's equations, which contain additional terms that couple an electric field to a magnetization and a magnetic field to a polarization of the medium, such…

This work is motivated by two central questions in the birational geometry of moduli spaces of curves -- Fulton's conjecture and the effective cone of $\bar M_g$. We study the algebro-geometric aspect of Teichmuller curves parameterizing…

We construct spectral triples for compact metric spaces (X, d). This provides us with a new metric d_s on X. We study its relation with the original metric d. When X is a subshift space, or a discrete tiling space, and d satisfies certain…
