Proximality in Pisot tiling spaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A substitution vp is strong Pisot if its abelianization matrix is non-singular and all eigenvalues except the Perron-Frobenius eigenvalue have modulus less than one. For strong Pisot vp that satisfies a no cycle condition and for which the translation flow on the tiling space Tvp has pure discrete spectrum, we describe the collection TvPp of pairs of proximal tilings in Tvp in a natural way as a substitution tiling space. We show that if psi is another such substitution, then Tvp and Tpsi are homeomorphic if and only if TvPp and TpPsi are homeomorphic. We make use of this invariant to distinguish tiling spaces for which other known invariants are ineffective. In addition, we show that for strong Pisot substitutions, pure discrete spectrum of the flow on the associated tiling space is equivalent to proximality being a closed relation on the tiling space.
