Slopes of Tilings

چکیده
We study here slopes of periodicity of tilings. A tiling is of slope θ if it is periodic along direction θ but has no other direction of periodicity. We characterize in this paper the set of slopes we can achieve with tilings, and prove they coincide with recursively enumerable sets of rationals.

Faultfree Tromino Tilings of Rectangles
In this paper we consider faultfree tromino tilings of rectangles and characterize rectangles that admit such tilings. We introduce the notion of crossing numbers for tilings and derive bounds on the crossing numbers of faultfree tilings. We develop an iterative scheme for generating faultfree tromino tilings for rectangles and derive the closed form expression for the exact number of faultfree...
متن کاملRandom Surfaces: Large Deviations Principles and Gradient Gibbs Measure Classifications
We study (discretized) “random surfaces,” which are random functions from Z (or large subsets of Z) to E, where E is Z or R. Their laws are determined by convex, nearest-neighbor, gradient Gibbs potentials that are invariant under translation by a full-rank sublattice L of Z; they include many discrete and continuous height function models (e.g., domino tilings, square ice, the harmonic crystal...
متن کاملA note on the structure of spaces of domino tilings
We study spaces of tilings, formed by tilings which are on a geodesic between two fixed tilings of the same domain (the distance is defined using local flips). We prove that each space of tilings is homeomorphic to an interval of tilings of a domain when flips are classically directed by height functions. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملTilings by Regular Polygons Iii: Dodecagon-dense Tilings
In Tilings and Patterns, Grünbaum and Shephard claim that there are only four kuniform tilings by regular polygons (for some k) that have a dodecagon incident at every vertex. In fact, there are many others. We show that the tilings that satisfy this requirement are either the uniform 4.6.12 tiling, or else fall into one of two infinite classes of such tilings. One of these infinite classes can...

We study the statistical physical properties of (discretized) “random surfaces,” which are random functions from Z (or large subsets of Z) to E, where E is Z or R. Their laws are determined by convex, nearest-neighbor, gradient Gibbs potentials that are invariant under translation by a full-rank sublattice L of Z; they include many discrete and continuous height function models (e.g., domino ti...
