Abstract: We explicitly construct a strongly aperiodic subshift of finite type for the discrete Heisenberg group. Our example builds on the classical aperiodic tilings of the plane due to Raphael Robinson. Extending those tilings to the Heisenberg group by exploiting the group's structure and posing additional local rules to prune out remaining periodic behavior we maintain a rich projective subdynamics on mathbbZ2 cosets. In addition the obtained subshift factors onto a strongly aperiodic, minimal sofic shift via a map that is invertible on a dense set of configurations.
