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…
A set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is said to be spectral if the space $L^2(\Omega)$ admits an orthogonal basis of exponential functions. Fuglede (1974) conjectured that $\Omega$ is spectral if and only if it can tile the space by…
A set $\Omega$ in a locally compact abelian group is called spectral if $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthogonal basis of group characters. An important problem, connected with the so-called Spectral Set Conjecture (saying that $\Omega$ is spectral…
It is possible to have a packing by translates of a cube that is maximal (i.e.\ no other cube can be added without overlapping) but does not form a tiling. In the long running analogy of packing and tiling to orthogonality and completeness…
Let $\Omega$ be a convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We say that $\Omega$ is spectral if the space $L^2(\Omega)$ admits an orthogonal basis consisting of exponential functions. There is a conjecture, which goes back to Fuglede (1974), that…
Let $ \Omega \subset R^d $ have finite positive Lebesgue measure, and let $ \mathcal{L}^{2}(\Omega) $ be the corresponding Hilbert space of $ \mathcal{L}^{2} $-functions on $ \Omega $. We shall consider the exponential functions $…
Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a set of finite measure. The periodic tiling conjecture suggests that if $\Omega$ tiles $\mathbb{R}^d$ by translations then it admits at least one periodic tiling. Fuglede's conjecture suggests that…
A set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is said to be spectral if the space $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthogonal basis of exponential functions. It is well-known that in many respects, spectral sets "behave like" sets which can tile the space by…
We investigate tiling properties of spectra of measures, i.e., sets $\Lambda$ in $\br$ such that $\{e^{2\pi i \lambda x}: \lambda\in\Lambda\}$ forms an orthogonal basis in $L^2(\mu)$, where $\mu$ is some finite Borel measure on $\br$. Such…
A set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is said to be spectral if the space $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthogonal basis of exponential functions. A conjecture due to Fuglede (1974) stated that $\Omega$ is a spectral set if and only if it can tile the…
Suppose $\Omega\subseteq\RR^d$ is a bounded and measurable set and $\Lambda \subseteq \RR^d$ is a lattice. Suppose also that $\Omega$ tiles multiply, at level $k$, when translated at the locations $\Lambda$. This means that the…
Let $(\mathcal{X},\rho)$ be a metric space and $\lambda$ be a Borel measure on this space defined on the $\sigma$-algebra generated by open subsets of $\mathcal{X}$; this measure $\lambda$ defines volumes of Borel subsets of $\mathcal{X}$.…
It is well-known that the functions $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$ whose translates along a lattice $\Lambda$ form a tiling, can be completely characterized in terms of the zero set of their Fourier transform. We construct an example of a…
A well-known theorem of Rodin \& Sullivan, previously conjectured by Thurston, states that the circle packing of the intersection of a lattice with a simply connected planar domain $\Omega$ into the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ converges to a…
A conjecture of Fuglede states that a bounded measurable set D, of measure 1, can tile space by translations if and only if the Hilbert space L^2(D) has an orthonormal basis consisting of exponentials exp(i 2 pi lambda x). If D has the…
For a locally compact abelian group $G$ a simple proof is given for the known fact that a bounded domain $\Omega$ tiles $G$ with translations by a lattice $\Lambda$ if and only if the set of characters of $G$ indexed by the dual lattice of…
We say that a function $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R})$ tiles at level $w$ by a discrete translation set $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}$, if we have $\sum_{\lambda \in \Lambda} f(x-\lambda)=w$ a.e. In this paper we survey the main results, and prove…
Let $\Lambda $ be an artin algebra and $T$ a $\tau$-tilting $\Lambda$-module. We prove that $T$ is a tilting module if and only if ${\rm Ext}_{\Lambda}^{i}(T,\Fac T)=0$ for all $i\geq 1$, where $\Fac T$ is the full subcategory consisting of…
Packing is a classical problem where one is given a set of subsets of Euclidean space called objects, and the goal is to find a maximum size subset of objects that are pairwise non-intersecting. The problem is also known as the Independent…
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…
