The Gauss circle problem for Penrose tilings

Number Theory 2025-12-29 v1

Abstract

Let BRB_R denote the closed Euclidean ball of radius RR in the plane. In this paper we prove that, if VV is the set of vertices of any unit length rhombic Penrose tiling then, for R2R\ge 2, #(VBR)=πCPR2+O(R2/3(logR)2/3),\#(V\cap B_R)=\pi C_P R^2 + O(R^{2/3}(\log R)^{2/3}), where CP1.231C_P\approx 1.231 is a constant.
