Periodic point sets

Definition: A (discrete) point set Λ ⊂ Rd is called periodic, when t + Λ = Λ holds for some t = 0. It is called crystallographic when the group of periods,

per(Λ) = {t ∈ Rd | t + Λ = Λ}, is a lattice.

Crystallographic restriction: If (t, M) is a Euclidean motion that maps a crystallographic point set Λ ⊂ Rd onto itself, the characteristic polynomial of M has integer coefficients only. In particular, for d ∈ {2, 3}, the possible rotation symmetries have order 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6.

Fields Institute, Toronto, 20 October 2011 – p.4

Non-periodic point sets

Definition: A discrete point set Λ ⊂ Rd is called non-crystallographic when per(Λ) is not a lattice, and non-periodic when per(Λ) = {0}. Examples:

Z \ {0} (Z \ {0}) × Z

Definition: The hull of a discrete point set Λ is defined as

X(Λ) := {t + Λ | t ∈ Rd},

where the closure is taken in the local (rubber) topology.

Fields Institute, Toronto, 20 October 2011 – p.5

SLIDE 7

Non-periodic point sets

Definition: A discrete point set Λ ⊂ Rd is called aperiodic when X(Λ) contains only non-periodic elements. It is called strongly aperiodic when the remaining symmetry group of the hull is a finite group.

Composition-decomposition method

(Franz Gähler 1993)

method to show that matching rules (local rules) enforce non-periodicity based on inflation (self-similarity) requirements: Inflation rule has to respect matching rules: Tiles that match must have decompositions that match In any admitted tiling, each tile can be composed, together with part of its neighbours, to a unique supertile The supertiles inherit markings that enforce equivalent matching rules
