A proof is sketched of the Polynomial Conjecture of the author (circulated as preprint "Brick Tiling and Monotone Boolean Functions", available at the http://www.math.ufl.edu/~squash/tilingstuff.html url) which says that the family of…

We develop a recursive formula for counting the number of rectangulations of a square, i.e the number of combinatorially distinct tilings of a square by rectangles. Our formula specializes to give a formula counting generic rectangulations,…

We establish the $\#P$-hardness of computing a broad class of immanants, even when restricted to specific categories of matrices. Concretely, we prove that computing $\lambda$-immanants of $0$-$1$ matrices is $\#P$-hard whenever the…

Any bounded tile of the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers is a compact open set up to a zero Haar measure set. In this note, we give a simple and direct proof of this fact.

We obtain tilings with a singular point by applying conformal maps on regular tilings of the Euclidean plane, and determine its symmetries. The resulting tilings are then symmetrically colored by applying the same conformal maps on…

We classify all edge-to-edge spherical isohedral 4-gonal tilings such that the skeletons are pseudo-double wheels. For this, we characterize these spherical tilings by a quadratic equation for the cosine of an edge-length. By the…

We count tilings of a rectangle of integer sides m-1 and n-1 by a special set of tiles. The result is obtained fron the study of the kernel of the adjacency matrix of an n x n rectangular graph of Z x Z.

We show that the problem of tiling the Euclidean plane with a finite set of polygons (up to translation) boils down to prove the existence of zeros of a non-negative convex function defined on a finite-dimensional simplex. This function is…

Generalizing results by Valette, Zamfirescu and Laczkovich, we will prove that a convex body $K$ is a polytope if there are sufficiently many tilings which contain a tile similar to $K$. Furthermore, we give an example that this can not be…

We study tilings of the plane composed of two repeating tiles of different assigned areas relative to an arbitrary periodic lattice. We classify isoperimetric configurations (i.e., configurations with minimal length of the interfaces) both…

We derive explicit rational generating functions for weighted tilings of $2k\times n$ rectangles by straight $k\times 1$ tiles. Our approach combines a decomposition by fault lines with a Hadamard-product framework. Tools from algebraic…

We give a simple proof of T. Stehling's result, that in any normal tiling of the plane with convex polygons with number of sides not less than six, all tiles except the finite number are hexagons.

Let $R$ be an algebra over a ring $\Bbbk$, $T$ an $R$-algebra, $M$ a finitely generated projective $R$-module, and $N$ a $T$-module. Let $G$ be a linearly reductive group scheme over $\Bbbk$ equipped with a representation…

Nandakumar asked whether there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise non-congruent triangles of equal area and equal perimeter. Here a weaker result is obtained: there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise non-congruent triangles of equal…

The tilings of the 2-dimensional sphere by congruent triangles have been extensively studied, and the edge-to-edge tilings have been completely classified. However, not much is known about the tilings by other congruent polygons. In this…

We introduce the notion of exact tilting objects, which are partial tilting objects $T$ inducing an equivalence between the abelian category generated by $T$ and the category of modules over the endomorphism algebra of $T$. Given a chain of…

We consider a set of necessary conditions which are efficient heuristics for deciding when a set of Wang tiles cannot tile a group. Piantadosi gave a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a valid tiling of any free group.…

We prove that one can cover the $1 \times b$ rectangle by equal squares on both sides in one layer iff $b = p \pm \sqrt{p^2 - r^2} $, where $p \ge r \ge 0$ and $p,q \in \mathbb{Q}$.

We show that for any closed, orientable surface $K$ smoothly embedded in $\mathbb{R}^4$, the unit $4$-ball $B^4 \subset \mathbb{R}^4$ can be tiled using $n \geq 3$ tiles each congruent to a regular neighborhood (with corners) of a surface…

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…
