Shellable tilings on simplicial complexes help understand their structure.

problem Understanding the structure of simplicial complexes through tilings.
method Proving the existence of shellable h-tilings on finite simplicial complexes after stellar subdivisions.
result The h-vector of a tiling is determined by the critical vector, with palindromic properties for closed triangulated manifolds.

We introduce a notion of Morse shellings (and tilings) on finite simplicial complexes which extends the classical one and its relation to discrete Morse theory.Skeletons and barycentric subdivisions of Morse shellable (or tileable) simplicial complexes are Morse shellable (or tileable). Moreover, every triangulated clo…

We prove that the second derived subdivision of any rectilinear triangulation of any convex polytope is shellable. Also, we prove that the first derived subdivision of every rectilinear triangulation of any convex 3-dimensional polytope is shellable. This complements Mary Ellen Rudin's classical example of a non-shella…

We explore a somewhat unexpected connection between knot Floer homology and shellable posets, via grid diagrams. Given a grid presentation of a knot K inside S^3, we define a poset which has an associated chain complex whose homology is the knot Floer homology of K. We then prove that the closed intervals of this poset…

We prove that for every d2d\geq 2, deciding if a pure, dd-dimensional, simplicial complex is shellable is NP-hard, hence NP-complete. This resolves a question raised, e.g., by Danaraj and Klee in 1978. Our reduction also yields that for every d2d \ge 2 and k0k \ge 0, deciding if a pure, dd-dimensional, simplicial com…

All the 3-spheres…

result Every smooth compact submanifold with connected boundary is topologically isotopic to a rep-tile.

In this article we study Ammann tilings from the perspective of symplectic geometry. Ammann tilings are nonperiodic tilings that are related to quasicrystals with icosahedral symmetry. We associate to each Ammann tiling two explicitly constructed highly singular symplectic spaces and we show that they are diffeomorphic…

result Three classes of tilings are identified: 2-layer earth map tilings, quadrilateral subdivisions of the octahedron, and 3-layer earth map tilings.

result Characterizing alignments of tilings by comparing edge directions and generating families with elegant symmetry.

The main goal of this paper is to define a 1-1 correspondence between between substitution tilings constructed by inflation and the arithmetic of positional representation in the underlying real vector space. It introduces a generalization of inflationary tessellations to equivalence classes of tiles. Two tiles belong …

We study square-tiled tori, that is, tori obtained from a finite collection of unit squares by parallel side identifications. Square-tiled tori can be parametrized in a natural way that allows to count the number of square-tiled tori tiled by a given number of square tiles. There is a natural $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbf{Z})…

We determine the topology of the moduli space of periodic tilings of the plane by parallelograms. To each such tiling, we associate combinatorial data via the zone curves of the tiling. We show that all tilings with the same combinatorial data form an open subset in a suitable Euclidean space that is homotopy equivalen…

In this note we prove that any monohedral tiling of the closed circular unit disc with k3k \leq 3 topological discs as tiles has a kk-fold rotational symmetry. This result yields the first nontrivial estimate about the minimum number of tiles in a monohedral tiling of the circular disc in which not all tiles contain t…

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 different viewpoints, one with constructive techniques to enumerate such tiling…

In this paper we describe the pentagonal tiling of the plane defined in the article "A regular pentagonal tiling of the plane" by P. L. Bowers and K. Stephenson as a conformal substitution tiling and summarize many of its properties given in the mentioned article. We show furthermore why such tiling is not FLC with res…

result Arithmetic groups are frequent in low genus square-tiled surfaces.

Extremal length is a conformal invariant that transfers naturally to the discrete setting, giving square tilings as a natural combinatorial analog of conformal mappings. Recent work by S. Hersonsky has explored generalizing these ideas to three-dimensional cube tilings. The connections between discrete extremal length …
