Introduction to hierarchical tiling dynamical systems

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper is about the tiling dynamical systems approach to the study of aperiodic order. We compare and contrast four related types of systems: ordinary (one-dimensional) symbolic systems, one-dimensional tiling systems, multidimensional Zd-systems, and multidimensional tiling systems. Aperiodically ordered structures are often hierarchical in nature, and there are a number of different yet related ways to define them. We will focus on what we are calling "supertile construction methods": symbolic substitution in one and many dimensions, S-adic sequences, self-similar and pseudo-self-similar tilings, and fusion rules. The techniques of dynamical analysis of these systems are discussed and a number of results are surveyed. We conclude with a discussion of the spectral theory of supertile systems from both the dynamical and diffraction perspectives.
