Self-similar carpets over finite fields

Number Theory 2007-08-08 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Some linear dynamical systems over finite fields are studied and the self-similar character of their development is proved. Connections with aperiodic tilings, Delanoy numbers and other topics are also proved. The prime fields F_p have a canonical presentation as sets of self-similar carpets. The multiplicative inverse corresponds to mirroring.
