We study a $2 times 2$ matrix equation arising naturally in the theory of Coxeter frieze patterns. It is formulated in terms of the generators of the group $mathrm{PSL}(2,mathbb{Z})$ and is closely related to continued fractions. It appears in a number of different areas, for example, toric varieties. We count its positive solutions, obtaining a series of integer sequences, some known and some new. This extends classical work of Conway and Coxeter proving that the first of these sequences is the Catalan numbers.
We reformulate several known results about continued fractions in combinatorial terms. Among them the theorem of Conway and Coxeter and that of Series, both relating continued fractions and triangulations. More general polygon dissections appear when
The notion of $SL_2$-tiling is a generalization of that of classical Coxeter-Conway frieze pattern. We classify doubly antiperiodic $SL_2$-tilings that contain a rectangular domain of positive integers. Every such $SL_2$-tiling corresponds to a pair
Let $C_{k_1}, ldots, C_{k_n}$ be cycles with $k_igeq 2$ vertices ($1le ile n$). By attaching these $n$ cycles together in a linear order, we obtain a graph called a polygon chain. By attaching these $n$ cycles together in a cyclic order, we obtain a
We introduce a new class of friezes which is related to symplectic geometry. On the algebraic and combinatrics sides, this variant of friezes is related to the cluster algebras involving the Dynkin diagrams of type ${rm C}_{2}$ and ${rm A}_{m}$. On t
We explain the notion of $q$-deformed real numbers introduced in our previous work and overview their main properties. We will also introduce $q$-deformed Conway-Coxeter friezes.
