Escher Tile Deformation via Closed-Form Solution
We present a real-time deformation method for Escher tiles -- interlocking organic forms that seamlessly tessellate the plane following symmetry rules. We formulate the problem as determining a periodic displacement field. The goal is to deform Escher tiles without introducing gaps or overlaps. The resulting displacement field is obtained in closed form by an analytical solution. Our method processes tiles of 17 wallpaper groups across various representations such as images and meshes. Rather t…

It's a clever idea, but I have a horrible sinking feeling that in two years we're going to be living in an Escher-like maze of Captchas and counter-captchas and infinite recursions of AI based arms races.

The Smooth Power of the "Neandertal Method"
We describe an algorithmic method to transform a Euclidean wallpaper pattern into a Circle Limit-style picture à la Escher. The design goals for the method are to be mathematically sound, aesthetically pleasing and fast to compute. It turns out that a certain class of conformal maps is particularly well-suited for the problem. Moreover, in our specific application, a very simple method, sometimes jokingly called the "Neandertal Method" for its almost brutal simplicity, proves to be highly effi…

Uncovering the nature of low-lying dipole states with QRPA calculations: is Z=42 the answer?
The pygmy dipole resonance (PDR), marked by enhanced electric dipole strength near particle emission energies, offers a unique perspective on the collective dynamics of nuclear structure. Its precise nature, particularly its degree of collectivity, remains a topic of debate. In this study, we investigate low-energy dipole excitations in spherical Mo isotopes ($^{82}$Mo to $^{98}$Mo) using a fully consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) and quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) framew…
