چکیده

Given a flag in each of the vertex-transitive tessellations of the Euclidean plane by regular polygons, we determine the flag stabilizer under the action of the automorphism group of a regular cover. In so doing we give a presentation of these tilings as quotients of regular (infinite) polyhedra.

A noncommutative theory of Penrose tilings

Considering quantales as generalised noncommutative spaces, we address as an example a quantale Pen based on the Penrose tilings of the plane. We study in general the representations of involutive quantales on those of binary relations, and show that in the case of Pen the algebraically irreducible representations provide a complete classification of the set of Penrose tilings from which its re...

On generalized reduced representations of restricted Lie superalgebras in prime characteristic

Let $mathbb{F}$ be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p>2$ and $(g, [p])$ a finite-dimensional restricted Lie superalgebra over $mathbb{F}$. It is showed that anyfinite-dimensional indecomposable $g$-module is a module for a finite-dimensional quotient of the universal enveloping superalgebra of $g$. These quotient superalgebras are called the generalized reduced enveloping ...

Tiling 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...

Tilings 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...

Uniform 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.
