Triangular dissections, aperiodic tilings and Jones algebras
Abstract
The Brattelli diagram associated with a given bicolored Dynkin-Coxeter graph of type determines planar fractal sets obtained by infinite dissections of a given triangle. All triangles appearing in the dissection process have angles that are multiples of There are usually several possible infinite dissections compatible with a given but a given one makes use of triangle types if is even. Jones algebra with index (values of the discrete range) act naturally on vector spaces associated with those fractal sets. Triangles of a given type are always congruent at each step of the dissection process. In the particular case , there are isometric and the whole structure lead, after proper inflation, to aperiodic Penrose tilings. The ``tilings'' associated with other values of the index are discussed and shown to be encoded by equivalence classes of infinite sequences (with appropriate constraints) using digits (if is even) and generalizing the Fibonacci numbers.
