Abstract: We establish a structure theorem for the family of Ammann A2 tilings of the plane. Using that theorem we show that every Ammann A2 tiling is self-similar in the sense of [B. Solomyak, Nonperiodicity implies unique composition for self-similar translationally finite tilings, Discrete and Computational Geometry 20 (1998) 265-279]. By the same techniques we show that Ammann A2 tilings are not robust in the sense of [B. Durand, A. Romashchenko, A. Shen. Fixed-point tile sets and their applications, Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 78:3 (2012) 731--764].

Review text

The paper is devoted to study a family of quasiperiodic plane tilings known as Ammann A2 tilings. There are two ways to construct these tilings: local rules and substitutions. It is proved that these ways are equivalent. Moreover, it is proved that, if an A2 tiling tiles a convex set, then that set is either a plane, or a half-plane, or a quadrant. The described results are known in folklore but it seems that their proofs has never been published. Also, it is proved that there is a tiling \(T\) of the plane that satisfies the same local rules as A2 tilings everywhere except a bounded region and that has the following property: for any A2 tiling \(T'\) of the plane the difference \(T\setminus T'\) is infinite.
