The hypoplactic monoid was introduced by Krob and Thibon through a presentation and through quasi-ribbon tableaux and an insertion algorithm. Just as Kashiwara crystals enriched the structure of the plactic monoid and allowed its…

In literature, many important combinatorial properties of subsets of N have been studied both with nonstandard techniques and from the point of view of N. In this thesis we mix these two different approaches in a technique that, at the same…

A theory of light diffraction from planar quasicrystalline lattice with resonant scatterers is presented. Rich structure, absent in the periodic case, is found in specular reflection spectra, and interpreted as a specific kind of Wood…

In recent studies, Bibiloni-Femenias, Mi\~{n}ana and Valero characterized the functions that aggregate a family of (quasi-)(pseudo)metric modulars defined over a fixed set $X$ into a single one. In this paper, we adopt a related but…

In this paper we provide a framework for the study of isoperimetric problems in finitely generated group, through a combinatorial study of universal covers of compact simplicial complexes. We show that, when estimating filling functions,…

One-dimensional cut-and-project point sets obtained from the square lattice in the plane are considered from a unifying point of view and in the perspective of aperiodic wavelet constructions. We successively examine their geometrical…

Starting from the classical results of Shubnikov and Zamorzayev, computer models of shapes are implemented, which allow to visualize the action of discrete subgroups of continuous topological groups. The action is visualize by performing…

We use the subgraph replacement method to investigate new properties of the tilings of regions on the square lattice with diagonals drawn in. In particular, we show that the centrally symmetric tilings of a generalization of the Aztec…

We discuss the quasianalytic properties of various spaces of functions suitable for one-dimensional small divisor problems. These spaces are formed of functions C^1-holomorphic on certain compact sets K_j of the Riemann sphere (in the…

We propose a means to realize two-dimensional quasiperiodic structures by trapping atoms in an optical potential. The structures have eight-fold symmetry and are closely related to the well-known quasiperiodic octagonal (Ammann-Beenker)…

In the window approach to quasicrystals, the atomic position space E_parallel is embedded into a space E^n = E_parallel + E_perp. Windows are attached to points of a lattice Lambda \in E^n. For standard 5fold and icosahedral tiling models,…

Tilings and point sets arising from substitutions are classical mathematical models of quasicrystals. Their hierarchical structure allows one to obtain concrete answers regarding spectral questions tied to the underlying measures and…

We show that diffraction features of $1D$ quasicrystals can be retrieved from a single topological quantity, the \v{C}ech cohomology group, $\check{H}^{1}\cong\mathbb{Z}^2$, which encodes all relevant combinatorial information of tilings.…

Topological properties of crystals and quasicrystals is a subject of recent and growing interest. This Letter reports an experiment where, for certain quasicrystals, these properties can be directly retrieved from diffraction. We directly…

In this paper we introduce a class of polygonal complexes for which we can define a notion of sectional combinatorial curvature. These complexes can be viewed as generalizations of 2-dimensional Euclidean and hyperbolic buildings. We focus…

This paper surveys some combinatorial aspects of Smith normal form, and more generally, diagonal form. The discussion includes general algebraic properties and interpretations of Smith normal form, critical groups of graphs, and Smith…

Recently Taylor and Socolar introduced an aperiodic mono-tile. The associated tiling can be viewed as a substitution tiling. We use the substitution rule for this tiling and apply the algorithm of \cite{AL} to check overlap coincidence. It…

One well studied way to construct quasicrystalline tilings is via inflate-and-subdivide (a.k.a. substitution) rules. These produce self-similar tilings--the Penrose, octagonal, and pinwheel tilings are famous examples. We present a…

This work focuses on the combinatorial properties of glued semigroups and provides its combinatorial characterization. Some classical results for affine glued semigroups are generalized and some methods to obtain glued semigroups are…

We present a systematic method of constructing limit-quasiperiodic structures with non-crystallographic point symmetries. Such structures are different aperiodic ordered structures from quasicrystals, and we call them "superquasicrystals".…
