Coxeter's frieze patterns at the crossroads of algebra, geometry and combinatorics

摘要

Frieze patterns of numbers, introduced in the early 1970s by Coxeter, are currently attracting much interest due to connections with the recent theory of cluster algebras. The present survey aims to review the original work of Coxeter and the new developments around the notion of frieze, focusing on the representation theoretic, geometric and combinatorial approaches.
