title: Combinatorial construction of tilings by barycentric simplex orbits (D symbols) and their realizations in Euclidean and other homogeneous spaces.
abstract: A new method, developed in previous works by the author (partly with co-authors), is presented which decides algorithmically, in principle by computer, whether a combinatorial space tiling (Tau, Gamma) is realizable in the d-dimensional Euclidean space E(d) (think of d = 2, 3, 4) or in other homogeneous spaces, e.g. in Thurston's 3-geometries: E(3), S(3), H(3), S(2) x R, H(2) x R, SL(2)R, Nil, Sol. Then our group Gamma will be an isometry group of a projective metric 3-sphere PiS(3) (R, < , >), acting discontinuously on its above tiling Tau. The method is illustrated by a plane example and by the well known rhombohedron tiling (Tau, Gamma), where Gamma = R3m is the Euclidean space group No. 166 in International Tables for Crystallography.
