Image tile-based approaches are popular in many image processing applications such as denoising (e.g., non-local means). A key step in their use is grouping the images into clusters, which usually proceeds iteratively splitting the images…

The results involving rotationally symmetric tilings with multiple types of rhombuses, discovered by Penrose, Ammann, Beenker, or Socolar, are converted to tilings with multiple types of pentagons are presented. The pentagons can be convex…

Many new families of quasicrystal-forming magnetic alloys have been synthesized and studied in recent years. For small changes of composition, the alloys can go from quasiperiodic to periodic (approximant crystals) while conserving most of…

It is shown that there are primitive substitution tilings with dense tile orientations invariant under n-fold rotation for n=2,3,4,5,6,8. The proof for dense tile orientations uses a general result about irrationality of angles in certain…

We consider the six-vertex model at its free-fermion point with domain wall boundary conditions, which is equivalent to random domino tilings of the Aztec diamond. We compute the scaling limit of a particular non-local correlation function,…

Antiferromagnets hosting real-space topological spin textures are promising platforms to model fundamental ultrafast phenomena and explore spintronics. However, to date, they have only been fabricated epitaxially on specific…

We study random tiling models in the limit of high rotational symmetry. In this limit a mean-field theory yields reasonable predictions for the configurational entropy of free boundary rhombus tilings in two dimensions. We base our…

It is shown that the descending plane partitions of Andrews can be geometrically realized as cyclically symmetric rhombus tilings of a certain hexagon where an equilateral triangle of side length 2 has been removed from its centre. Thus,…

Aperiodic tilings support two classically studied but hitherto separately presented structures: matching rules, which enforce global order via local constraints, and height functions, which encode global geometry through integer-valued…

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…

The adhesion approximation is a simple analytical model suggested for explanation of the major geometrical features of the observed structure in the galaxy distribution on scales from 1 to (a few)x100/h Mpc. It is based on Burgers' equation…

We compare the accuracy of two cluster extensions of Dynamical Mean-Field Theory in describing d-wave superconductors, using as a reference model a saddle-point t-J model which can be solved exactly in the thermodynamic limit and at the…

We introduce a new transfer matrix method for calculating the thermodynamic properties of random-tiling models of quasicrystals in any number of dimensions, and describe how it may be used to calculate the phason elastic properties of these…

It is shown that the covering approach with a single decagonal prototile can be transformed into a hexagon, boat and star tiling. Particularly, the atomic decoration recently proposed by Cockayne and Widom (Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 598 (1998))…

We study the properties of dipolar fermions trapped in one-dimensional bichromatic optical lattices and show the existence of fractional topological states in the presence of strong dipole-dipole interactions. We find some interesting…

The strict geometric rules that define aperiodic tilings lead to the unique spectral and transport properties of quasicrystals, but also limit our ability to design them. In this Letter, we explore a novel example of a continuously tunable…

One may predict a quasicrystal structure starting from electrons and quantum mechanics, as approximated by interatomic pair potentials calibrated with ab-initio total-energy calculations, combined with the experimentally known composition…

The first explicit realization of the conjecture that phason dynamics leads to self-diffusion in quasicrystals is presented for the icosahedral Ammann tilings. On short time scales, the transport is found to be subdiffusive with the…

We show that a single prototile can fill space uniformly but not admit a periodic tiling. A two-dimensional, hexagonal prototile with markings that enforce local matching rules is proven to be aperiodic by two independent methods. The…

The behaviour of two-dimensional patchy particles with 5 and 7 regularly-arranged patches is investigated by computer simulation. For higher pressures and wider patch widths, hexagonal crystals have the lowest enthalpy, whereas at lower…
