Abstract

Unique affine extensions $H^{\aff}_2$, $H^{\aff}_3$ and $H^{\aff}_4$ are determined for the noncrystallographic Coxeter groups $H_2$, $H_3$ and $H_4$. They are used for the construction of new mathematical models for quasicrystal fragments with 10-fold symmetry. The case of $H^{\aff}_2$ corresponding to planar point sets is discussed in detail. In contrast to the cut-and-project scheme we obtain by construction finite point sets, which grow with a model specific growth parameter.

Strongly Regular Graphs of Rank Four

Strongly regular graphs are regular graphs with a constant number of common neighbours between adjacent vertices, and a constant number of common neighbours between non-adjacent vertices. These graphs have been of great interest over the last few decades and often give rise to interesting groups of automorphisms. In this paper we take a reverse approach, and leverage strong classification results on rank four permutation groups to classify the strongly regular graphs which yield such groups as a group of automorphisms.

Every finite group admits a just finite presentation

A finite presentation < X | R > of a finite group is called `just finite' if removing any relation from R results in a presentation for an infinite group. It has been an open question (Kourovka Notebook, Problem 21.10) whether every finite group admits such a presentation. We resolve this conjecture in the affirmative.

Assouad--Nagata dimension of systolic complexes with almost flat intervals

We introduce the notion of systolic complexes with almost flat intervals. They constitute a subclass of fit systolic complexes and arise naturally in the study of graphical C(3)--T(6) small cancellation complexes. We prove that their Assouad--Nagata dimension is bounded above by a universal constant. As consequences, we obtain universal bounds on the Assouad--Nagata dimension of tame simply connected graphical C(3)--T(6) small cancellation complexes and of finitely generated groups defined by graphical C(3)--T(6) small cancellation presentations. In the appendix, we observe that the proof of finiteness of asymptotic dimension for buildings due to Dymara and Schick also yields finiteness of their asymptotic Assouad--Nagata dimension.
