Abstract: We propose an ansatz for the wave function of a non-interacting quantum particle in a deterministic quasicrystalline potential. It is applicable to both continuous and discrete models and includes Sutherland's hierarchical wave function as a special case. The ansatz is parameterized by a first cohomology class of the hull of the structure. The structure of the ansatz and the values of its parameters are preserved by the time evolution. Numerical results suggest that the ground states of the standard vertex models on Ammann-Beenker and Penrose tilings belong to this class of functions. This property remains valid for the models perturbed within their MLD class, e.g. by adding links along diagonals of rhombi. The convergence of the numerical simulations in a finite patch of the tiling critically depends on the boundary conditions, and can be significantly improved when the choice of the latter respects the structure of the ansatz.
