Abstract
We extend rotation theory of circle maps to tiling spaces. Specifically, we consider a 1-dimensional tiling space with finite local complexity and study self-maps that are homotopic to the identity and whose displacements are strongly pattern equivariant (sPE). In place of the familiar rotation number we define a cohomology class . We prove existence and uniqueness results for this class, develop a notion of irrationality, and prove an analogue of Poncar\'{e}'s Theorem: If is irrational, then is semi-conjugate to uniform translation on a space of tilings that is homeomorphic to . In such cases, is semi-conjugate to uniform translation on itself if and only if lies in a certain subspace of the first cohomology group of .
