Distortion Reversal in Aperiodic Tilings

Dynamical Systems 2021-11-16 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

It is proved that homeomorphic images of certain two-dimensional aperiodic tilings, such as Ammann-A2 tilings, are recognizable, in both mathematical and practical senses. One implication of the results is that it is possible to search for distorted aperiodic structures in nature, where they may be hiding in plain sight.
