The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that if a region $\Sigma\subset \mathbb R^d$ tiles $\mathbb R^d$ by translations then it admits at least one fully periodic tiling. This conjecture is known to hold in $\mathbb R$, and recently it was…
In \cite{BCKM} it was shown that "Tiling implies Spectral" holds for a union of three intervals and the reverse implication was studied under certain restrictive hypotheses on the associated spectrum. In this paper, we reinvestigate the…
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. We announce here a disproof of this conjecture for sufficiently large $d$, which…
Let $(\rho_\lambda\colon G_{\mathbb Q}\to \operatorname{GL}_5(\overline{E}_\lambda))_\lambda$ be a strictly compatible system of Galois representations such that no Hodge--Tate weight has multiplicity $5$. Under mild assumptions, we show…
We discuss the relation of tiling, weak tiling and spectral sets in finite abelian groups. In particular, in elementary $p$-groups $(\mathbb{Z}_p)^d$, we introduce an averaging procedure that leads to a natural object of study: a 4-tuple of…
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 $\mathbb{Z}_{p^2qr}$.
We discuss an extension of the almost Hadamard matrix formalism, to the case of complex matrices. Quite surprisingly, the situation here is very different from the one in the real case, and our conjectural conclusion is that there should be…
In this paper we study subsets $E$ of ${\Bbb Z}_p^d$ such that any function $f: E \to {\Bbb C}$ can be written as a linear combination of characters orthogonal with respect to $E$. We shall refer to such sets as spectral. In this context,…
We study spectral measures generated by infinite convolution products of discrete measures generated by Hadamard triples, and we present sufficient conditions for the measures to be spectral, generalizing a criterion by Strichartz. We then…
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 call a set $K \subset {\mathbb R}^s$ with positive Lebesgue measure a {\it spectral set} if $L^2(K)$ admits an exponential orthonormal basis. It was conjectured that $K$ is a spectral set if and only if $K$ is a tile (Fuglede's…
Decorating the Spectre tile with hexagons reveals triangular hexagonal clusters whose structure we study. In the process we reprove that the Spectre tilings exist and are uniquely hierarchical. The proof is not computer-assisted.
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}$ be a compact set with measure $1$. If there exists a subset $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}$ such that the set of exponential functions $E_{\Lambda}:=\{e_\lambda(x) = e^{2\pi i \lambda x}|_\Omega :\lambda \in…
We show that there are many (compact) convex semi-algebraic sets in euclidean space that do not have a semidefinite representation. This gives a negative answer to a question by Nemirovski, resp. it shows that the Helton-Nie conjecture is…
In this paper we study the behaviour of modules over finite dimensional algebras whose endomorphism algebra is a division ring. We show that there are finitely many such modules in the module category of an algebra if and only if the length…
We conjecture that for a strongly minimal theory T in a finite signature satisfying the Zilber Trichotomy, there are only three possibilities for the recursive spectrum of T: all countable models of T are recursively presentable; none of…
Translational tiling problems are among the most fundamental and representative undecidable problems in all fields of mathematics. Greenfeld and Tao obtained two remarkable results on the undecidability of translational tiling in recent…
Recently, Greenfeld and Tao disprove the conjecture that translational tilings of a single tile can always be periodic [Ann. Math. 200(2024), 301-363]. In another paper [to appear in J. Eur. Math. Soc.], they also show that if the dimension…
Halperin has conjectured that the Serre spectral sequence of any fibration that has fibre space a certain kind of elliptic space should collapse at the E_2-term. In this paper we obtain an equivalent phrasing of this conjecture, in terms of…
A simply connected topological space is called \emph{rationally elliptic} if the rank of its total homotopy group and its total (co)homology group are both finite. A well-known Hilali conjecture claims that for a rationally elliptic space…
