We study domino tilings of certain regions $R_\lambda$, indexed by partitions $\lambda$, weighted according to generalized area and dinv statistics. These statistics arise from the $q,t$-Catalan combinatorics and Macdonald polynomials. We…

We compute the divisor of the modular equation on the modular curve $\Gamma_0(N) \backslash \mathbb H^*$ and then find recurrence relations satisfied by the modular traces of the Hauptmodul for any congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(N)$ of genus…

A Theorem of V.Ovsienko characterizes sequences of positive integers $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)$ such that the $(2\times2)$-matrix $\begin{pmatrix} a_n & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}\cdots \begin{pmatrix} a_1 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ is equal…

We give a construction of a self-similar tiling of the plane with any prescribed expansion coefficient $\lambda\in\C$ (satisfying the necessary algebraic condition of being a complex Perron number). For any integer $m>1$ we show that there…

We prove that there are exactly five sequences, including the triangular numbers, that satisfy the product rule $T(mn) = T(m) T(n) + T(m-1) T(n-1)$ for all $m, n \ge 1$.

The classical Domino problem asks whether there exists a tiling in which none of the forbidden patterns given as input appear. In this paper, we consider the aperiodic version of the Domino problem: given as input a family of forbidden…

In two papers, Little and Sellers introduced an exciting new combinatorial method for proving partition identities which is not directly bijective. Instead, they consider various sets of weighted tilings of a $1 \times \infty$ board with…

The top of the attractor $A$ of a hyperbolic iterated function system $\left\{ f_{i}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{n}|i=1,2,\dots,M\right\} $ is defined and used to extend self-similar tilings to overlapping systems. The theory…

It is conjectured that for every pair $(\ell,m)$ of odd integers greater than 2 with $m \equiv 1\; \pmod{\ell}$, there exists a cyclic two-factorization of $K_{\ell m}$ having exactly $(m-1)/2$ factors of type $\ell^m$ and all the others of…

Let $A$ be a unital associative ring and let $T^{(k)}$ be the two-sided ideal of $A$ generated by all commutators $[a_1, a_2, \dots , a_k]$ $(a_i \in A)$ where $[a_1, a_2] = a_1 a_2 - a_2 a_1$, $[a_1, \dots , a_{k-1}, a_k] = \bigl[ [a_1,…

This paper proves a reciprocity formula for modular inverses for non-zero integers and demonstrates some applications of the reciprocity formula in calculating or verifying some modular inverses of specific forms, including the modular…

An N -tiling of triangle ABC by triangle T is a way of writing ABC as a union of N triangles congruent to T, overlapping only at their boundaries. The triangle T is the "tile'". The tile may or may not be similar to ABC . This paper is the…

A complex rational function R, of degree n>1, on a compact Riemann surface M provided with a cyclic order of its q critical values, determines an homogeneous tessellation of the Riemann surface M, whose 2n tiles are topological q-gons with…

In the local, characteristic 0, non archimedean case, we consider distributions on GL(n+1) which are invariant under the adjoint action of GL(n). We prove that such distributions are invariant by transposition. This implies that an…

We show that sequences of positive integers whose ratios $a_n^2/a_{n+1}$ lie within a specific range are almost uniquely determined by their reciprocal sums. For instance, the Sylvester sequence is uniquely characterized as the only…

We show that the common theory of all modules over a tubular algebra (over a recursive algebraically closed field) is decidable. This result supports a long standing conjecture of Mike Prest which says that a finite-dimensional algebra…

In a previous paper (El. J. Combin. 6 (1999), R37), the author generalized Ehrhart's idea of counting lattice points in dilated rational polytopes: Given a rational polytope, that is, a polytope with rational vertices, we use its…

MacMahon's theorem on plane partitions yields a simple product formula for tiling number of a hexagon, and Cohn, Larsen and Propp's theorem provides an explicit enumeration for tilings of a dented semihexagon via semi-strict…

We generalize a classical reciprocity law due to R\'edei using our recently developed description of the $2$-torsion of class groups of multiquadratic fields. This result is then used to prove a variety of new reflection principles for…

We define the Reflexive Tile Assembly Model (RTAM), which is obtained from the abstract Tile Assembly Model (aTAM) by allowing tiles to reflect across their horizontal and/or vertical axes. We show that the class of directed temperature-1…
