Eigenfunctions for substitution tiling systems

Abstract

We prove that for the uniquely ergodic Rd{\bf R}^d action associated with a primitive substitution tiling of finite local complexity, every measurable eigenfunction coincides with a continuous function almost everywhere. Thus, topological weak-mixing is equivalent to measure-theoretic weak-mixing for such actions. If the expansion map for the substitution is a pure dilation by θ>1\theta>1 and the substitution has a fixed point, then failure of weak-mixing is equivalent to θ\theta being a Pisot number.
