We show that any finite triangulation of the real projective plane or the dunce hat is partitionable. To prove this, we introduce simple yet useful gluing tools that allow us to reduce partitionability of a given complex to that of smaller…
In 2023, the quest for an aperiodic monotile was answered by the hat monotile. In this article, structures in this aperiodic tiling are discovered, which allow for a direct computation of the tiling, similar to well-known methods for the…
In the article "Construction of the discrete hull for the combinatorics of a regular pentagonal tiling of the plane" we gave the construction of a discrete hull for a combinatorial pentagonal tiling of the plane. In this paper, we give the…
Tilings of the plane resemble the simplicial and other complexes from algebraic topology, but have not been studied from this perspective. We construct finite categories corresponding to polygons with labeled directed edges, and introduce…
The recently discovered Hat tiling admits a 4-dimensional family of shape deformations, including the 1-parameter family already known to yield alternate monotiles. The continuous hulls resulting from these tilings are all topologically…
This paper describes the celebrated aperiodic hat tiling by Smith et al. [Comb. Theory 8 (2024), 6] as generated by an overlapping iterated function system. We briefly introduce and study infinite sequences of iterated function systems that…
We develop a theory of simple pentagonal subdivision of quadrilateral tilings, on orientable as well as non-orientable surfaces. Then we apply the theory to answer questions related to pentagonal tilings of surfaces, especially those…
In the perfect tiling problem, we aim to cover the vertices of a hypergraph~$G$ with pairwise vertex-disjoint copies of a hypergraph $F$. There are three essentially necessary conditions for such a perfect tiling, which correspond to…
Let T be a tile in the Cartesian plane made up of finitely many rectangles whose corners have rational coordinates and whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. This paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a square to be…
We discuss the art and science of producing conformally correct euclidean and hyperbolic tilings of compact surfaces. As an example, we present a tiling of the Chmutov surface by hyperbolic (2, 4, 6) triangles.
An h-tiling on a finite simplicial complex is a partition of its geometric realization by maximal simplices deprived of several codimension one faces together with possibly their remaining face of highest codimension. In this last case, the…
We show how to determine if a given simple rectilinear polygon can be tiled with rectangles, each having an integer side.
A simple, yet unifying method is provided for the construction of tilings by tiles obtained from the attractor of an iterated function system (IFS). Many examples appearing in the literature in ad hoc ways, as well as new examples, can be…
This paper gives new solutions to the problem: 'Can we construct monohedral tilings of the disk such that a neighbourhood of the origin has trivial intersection with at least one tile?'
This article builds on Thurston's height functions. His tiling algorithm is reinterpreted using lattice theory and then generalized in order to generate any tiling of a hole-free region. Combined with a natural encoding of tilings by words,…
A tiling is a decomposition of a polygon into finitely many non-overlapping triangles. We prove that if a regular n-gon, $n \geq 5$, $n \neq 28$, can be tiled with similar right triangles, then one of the angles of these triangles is in…
We prove exact product formulas for the tiling generating functions of various halved hexagons and quartered hexagons with defects on boundary. Our results generalize the previous work of the first author and the work of Ciucu.
Given a tiling $\mathcal{T}$ of the plane by straight edge polygons, which is invariant by two independent translations, we construct a family of embedded triply periodic minimal surfaces which desingularizes $\mathcal{T}\times\mathbb{R}$.…
The purpose of this paper is to give the flavor of the subject of self-similar tilings in a relatively elementary setting, and to provide a novel method for the construction of such polygonal tilings.
We give an explicit and effective construction for rhombus cut-and-project tilings with global n-fold rotational symmetry for any n. This construction is based on the dualization of regular n-fold multigrids. The main point is to prove the…
