چکیده

In this paper, we study a class of polycubes that tile the space by translation in a non lattice periodic way. More precisely, we construct a family of tiles indexed by integers with the property that Tk is a tile having k ≥ 2 has anisohedral number. That is k copies of Tk are assembled by translation in order to form a metatile. We prove that this metatile is lattice periodic while Tk is not a lattice periodic tile.

How many faces can polycubes of lattice tilings by translation of R have?

We construct a class of polycubes that tile the space by translation in a latticeperiodic way and show that for this class the number of surrounding tiles cannot be bounded. The first construction is based on polycubes with an L-shape but with many distinct tilings of the space. Nevertheless, we are able to construct a class of more complicated polycubes such that each polycube tiles the space ...

Supersymmetry, lattice fermions, independence complexes and cohomology theory

We analyze the quantum ground state structure of a specific model of itinerant, strongly interacting lattice fermions. The interactions are tuned to make the model supersymmetric. Due to this, quantum ground states are in one-to-one correspondence with cohomology classes of the so-called independence complex of the lattice. Our main result is a complete description of the cohomology, and thereb...

New family of tilings of three-dimensional Euclidean space by tetrahedra and octahedra.

It is well known that two regular tetrahedra can be combined with a single regular octahedron to tile (complete fill) three-dimensional Euclidean space . This structure was called the "octet truss" by Buckminster Fuller. It was believed that such a tiling, which is the Delaunay tessellation of the face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice, and its closely related stacking variants, are the only tessell...

Local Rules for Computable Planar Tilings

Aperiodic tilings are non-periodic tilings characterized by local constraints. They play a key role in the proof of the undecidability of the domino problem (1964) and naturally model quasicrystals (discovered in 1982). A central question is to characterize, among a class of non-periodic tilings, the aperiodic ones. In this paper, we answer this question for the well-studied class of non-period...

Ground States, Shifts of Finite Type and Quasicrystals for Lattice Systems

This paper deals with ground states for finite-range interaction potentials in lattice models on S d , where S is a finite set. First, we analyse the projective structure of the set of finite, translation-invariant, measures. Second, we show some drastic differences between d = 1 and d = 2 which shed light on crystalline and quasicrystalline ground states. The latter are modelled as uniquely er...
