Abstract: Every sufficiently regular space of tilings of Rd has at least one pair of distinct tilings that are asymptotic under translation in all the directions of some open (d1)-dimensional hemisphere. If the tiling space comes from a substitution, there is a way of defining a location on such tilings at which asymptoticity `starts'. This leads to the definition of the {em branch locus} of the tiling space: this is a subspace of the tiling space, of dimension at most d1, that summarizes the `asymptotic in at least a half-space' behavior in the tiling space. We prove that if a d-dimensional self-similar substitution tiling space has a pair of distinct tilings that are asymptotic in a set of directions that contains a closed (d1)-hemisphere in its interior, then the branch locus is a topological invariant of the tiling space. If the tiling space is a 2-dimensional self-similar Pisot substitution tiling space, the branch locus has a description as an inverse limit of an expanding Markov map on a 1-dimensional simplicial complex.
