Two new series of substitution tilings are introduced in which the tiles appear in infinitely many orientations. It is shown that several properties of the well-known pinwheel tiling do also hold for these new examples, and, in fact, for…
A tiling is a cover of R^d by tiles such as polygons that overlap only on their borders. A patch is a configuration consisting of finitely many tiles that appears in tilings. From a tiling, we can construct a dynamical system which encodes…
Tilings and point sets arising from substitutions are classical mathematical models of quasicrystals. Their hierarchical structure allows one to obtain concrete answers regarding spectral questions tied to the underlying measures and…
The class of Cyclotomic Aperiodic Substitution Tilings (CAST) whose vertices are supported by the $2n$-th cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}\left(\zeta_{2n}\right)$ is extended to cases with Dense Tile Orientations (DTO). It is shown that every…
An important question in dynamical systems is the classification problem, i.e., the ability to distinguish between two isomorphic systems. In this work, we study the topological factors between a family of multidimensional substitutive…
This paper presents a detailed symbolic approach to the study of self-similar tilings. It uses properties of addresses associated with graph-directed iterated function systems to establish conjugacy properties of tiling spaces. Tiles may be…
One well studied way to construct quasicrystalline tilings is via inflate-and-subdivide (a.k.a. substitution) rules. These produce self-similar tilings--the Penrose, octagonal, and pinwheel tilings are famous examples. We present a…
A minimal system $(X,T)$ is topologically mildly mixing if all non-empty open subsets $U,V$, $\{n\in \Z: U\cap T^{-n}V\neq \emptyset\}$ is an IP$^*$-set. In this paper we show that if a minimal system is topologically mildly mixing, then it…
In this paper, we pay attention to a weaker version of Walters's question on the existence of non-uniform cocycles for uniquely ergodic minimal dynamical systems on non-degenerate connected spaces. We will classify such dynamical systems…
We consider the scaling properties characterizing the hyperuniformity (or anti-hyperuniformity) of long wavelength fluctuations in a broad class of one-dimensional substitution tilings. We present a simple argument that predicts the…
The theory of substitution sequences and their higher-dimensional analogues is intimately connected with symbolic dynamics. By systematically studying the factors (in the sense of dynamical systems theory) of a substitution dynamical…
Relatively independent joinings of W*-dynamical systems are constructed. This is intimately related to subsystems of W*-dynamical systems, and therefore we also study general properties of subsystems, in particular fixed point subsystems…
In this paper, we aim to investigate the synchronization problem of dynamical systems, which can be of generic linear or Lipschitz nonlinear type, communicating over directed switching network topologies. A mild connectivity assumption on…
This paper is devoted to studying the multiple recurrent property of topologically mildly mixing systems along generalized polynomials. We show that if a minimal system is topologically mildly mixing, then it is mild mixing of higher orders…
Recent neutrino oscillation data hint that the smallest neutrino mixing angle theta_{13} is possible to lie in the range 5^\circ \lesssim \theta_{13} \lesssim 12^\circ. We show that reasonable perturbations to the democratic mixing pattern,…
This paper has two themes that are intertwined: The first is the dynamics of certain piecewise affine maps on the Euclidean space that arise from a class of analog-to-digital conversion methods called Sigma-Delta quantization. The second is…
We numerically examine the two-dimensional ordering of a stripe forming system of particles with competing long-range repulsion and short-range attraction in the presence of a quasi-one-dimensional corrugated substrate. As a function of…
It is shown that there are primitive substitution tilings with dense tile orientations invariant under n-fold rotation for n=2,3,4,5,6,8. The proof for dense tile orientations uses a general result about irrationality of angles in certain…
The quotient cohomology of tiling spaces is a topological invariant that relates a tiling space to one of its factors, viewed as topological dynamical systems. In particular, it is a relative version of the tiling cohomology that…
Symmetry sharing facilitates coherent interfaces which can transition from periodic to aperiodic structures. Motivated by the design and construction of such systems, we present hexagonal aperiodic tilings with a single edge-length which…
