Minimal Covers of the Archimedean Tilings, Part 1
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss representations of non-finite polyhedra as quotients of regular polytopes. We provide some structural results about the minimal regular covers of non-finite polyhedra and about the stabilizer subgroups of their flags under the flag action of the automorphism group of the covering polytope. As motivating examples we discuss the minimal regular covers of the Archimedean tilings, and we construct explicit minimal regular covers for three of them.

Minimal Covers of the Archimedean Tilings, Part II
In Part I of this paper ([PW12]), the minimal regular covers of three of the eight Archimedean tilings were determined. However, the computations described in that work grow more complicated as the number of flag orbits of the tilings increases. In Part II, we develop a new technique in order to present the minimal regular covers of certain periodic abstract polytopes. We then use that techniqu...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of Archimedean tilings with enthalpically and entropically patchy polygons.
Considerable progress in the synthesis of anisotropic patchy nanoplates (nanoplatelets) promises a rich variety of highly ordered two-dimensional superlattices. Recent experiments of superlattices assembled from nanoplates confirm the accessibility of exotic phases and motivate the need for a better understanding of the underlying self-assembly mechanisms. Here, we present experimentally access...
متن کاملTiling with Regular Star Polygons
The Archimedean tilings (Figure 1) and polyhedra will be familiar to many readers. They have the property that the tiles of the tiling, or the faces of the polyhedron, are regular polygons, and that the vertices form a single orbit under the symmetries of the tiling or polyhedron. (Grünbaum and Shephard [1] use Archimedean, in relation to tilings, to refer to the sequence of polygons at each ve...
متن کاملArchimedean-like colloidal tilings on substrates with decagonal and tetradecagonal symmetry.
Two-dimensional colloidal suspensions subjected to laser interference patterns with decagonal symmetry can form an Archimedean-like tiling phase where rows of squares and triangles order aperiodically along one direction (J. Mikhael et al., Nature 454, 501 (2008)). In experiments as well as in Monte Carlo and Brownian dynamics simulations, we identify a similar phase when the laser field posses...
متن کاملUniform edge-c-colorings of the Archimedean tilings
In the book Tilings and Patterns by B. Grunbaum and G. S. Shephard, the problem of classifying the uniform edge-c-colorings of Archimedean tilings of the Euclidean plane is posed. This article provides such a classification.
