Tilings in finite (not necessarily Abelian) groups
Let $G$ be a finite (not necessarily abelian) group. We call $A \subseteq G$ a right-tiling (for simplicity, a tiling) of $G$ if there exists a $B \subseteq G$ so that
$$ G = \bigsqcup_{b\in B} bA.$$

Non-monotileable amenable groups
This is crossposted from MSE.
We say a subset $A$ of a group $G$ is a monotile for $G$ if $G$ is a disjoint union of right translates of $A$.
In his article Monotileable Amenable Groups, B. Weiss ...

Topological full groups of subshifts: differences between one-dimensional and multi-dimensional subshifts
For a multidimensional subshift $X$ over $\mathbb Z^d$, the topological full group $[X]$ is the set of homeomorphisms $f$ of $X$ that can be written as $f : x \mapsto \sigma_{c(x)}(x)$ with $c : X \to ...

Torsion-free, normal subgroups of certain Coxeter groups
Let $G$ be the reflection group of a regular, 4-dimensional, hyperbolic honeycomb. I would like to find a family $H_i < G$ of finite-index, torsion-free subgroups of $G$, so that I can represent ...

Integer Triples and Reflection tiling $1,2,\ldots,n$
$\forall a,b\in\mathbb Z,\ \exists n\in \mathbb N$ such that the numbers $1,2,\ldots,n$ can be tiled using translates of $\{0,\ a,\ a+b\}$ and $\{0,\ -a,\ -(a+b)\}$ ?
In other words for every integer ...

Relation Between Truncated Braid Groups and Regular Tilings of the Complex and Hyperbolic Plane
This is perhaps a vague question, but hopefully there exists literature on the subject. The question is motivated by an answer I gave to this question on math.SE.
There exists a rather remarkable ...

Representing groups with two generators as graph automorphisms
Suppose we have a group $G$ which can be generated by two elements $x$, $y$. Call $H$, $K$, $L$ the subgroups of $G$ generated by $x$, $y$ and $y^{-1}x^{-1}$, respectively.
With these data, we can ...
