We consider the spin 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a two dimensional quasiperiodic tiling. The T=0 state is long range ordered, with an inhomogeneous distribution of the staggered moment. An approximate real space renormalization scheme…

The description of almost periodic or quasiperiodic structures has a long tradition in mathematical physics, in particular since the discovery of quasicrystals in the early 80's. Frequently, the modelling of such structures leads to…
Two-dimensional lattices provide the arena for many physics problems of essential importance, a non-trivial symmetry in such lattices will help to reveal the underlying physics. Whether there is a directional scaling for the 2D lattices is…
