Discovered Tilings

Quartic pinwheel

One of the rare examples of a tiling where the prototiles occur in infinitely many orientations. Apart from the pinwheel tiling and its generalizations [Sad98] there are only a few examples known which show infinite rotations.

The inflation factor of this one is a complex algebraic PV number of …

Non-invertible connected Rauzy Fractal

A companion to infinite component Rauzy fractal. As mentioned for that rule, it was hoped that the result for two symbol substitution rules that the window is connected if and only if the rule is invertible. This substitution rules is not invertible and yet the Rauzy fractal is connected:

Example of Canonical 4

In his PhD thesis, E. Harriss classified all substitution tilings which are canonical projection tilings.

Here one example is shown, derived from the cut and project scheme of the Ammann-Beenker tilings.

Cubic Pinwheel

A pinwheel substitution rule with cubic scaling. As the scaling and the rotations for the tiles are all given by algebraic units, every vertex of the tiling lies within a finitely generated Z-module.

Central Fibonacci

The substitution rule a1->a1 b1, a2->b2 a2, b1->a2, b2->a1. The tilings generated become Fibonacci tilings under the projection a1,a2->a and b1,b2->b. Alternatively one can simply remove the colour labels on the tiles. The name comes from the projection structure of the tiling. The expansion …

Infinite component Rauzy Fractal

An invertible substitution rule with a disconnected Rauzy Fractal. For two letter substitution rules the Rauzy fractal is connected if and only if the substitution is invertible. In fact as the window is one dimensional for these tilings it is an interval. It was hoped that the connectedness …

2-component Rauzy Fractal

A one dimensional substitution rule with a two component Rauzy Fractal. For a second example and more details see infinite component Rauzy fractal.

This is the dual partner of Conch, which has more details. The scaaling factor of this rule is either of the (complex conjugate) expanding roots of $x^4 - x^3 + 1 = 0$.

Conch

This tiling and Nautilus are dual tilings generated by non-PV morphisms. As such they are the first step in a generalisation of the work of G. Rauzy, P. Arnoux, S. Ito and others for PV substitution rules. The work that developed out of G. Rauzy’s seminal paper [Rau82] .
