If $N \subset \R$ is a separable II$_1$-factor, the space $\Hom(N,\R)$ of unitary equivalence classes of unital *-homomorphisms $N \to \R$ is shown to have a surprisingly rich structure. If $N$ is not hyperfinite, $\Hom(N,\R)$ is an…
We study here slopes of periodicity of tilings. A tiling is of slope if it is periodic along direction but has no other direction of periodicity. We characterize in this paper the set of slopes we can achieve with tilings, and prove they…
We consider measurable functions $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$ that tile simultaneously by two arithmetic progressions $\alpha \mathbb{Z}$ and $\beta \mathbb{Z}$ at respective tiling levels $p$ and $q$. We are interested in two main questions: what…
The influence of a layered aperiodic modulation of the couplings on the critical behaviour of the two-dimensional Ising model is studied in the case of marginal perturbations. The aperiodicity is found to induce anisotropic scaling. The…
We undertake a systematic study of W*-rigidity paradigms for the embeddability relation $\hookrightarrow$ between separable II$_1$ factors and its stable version $\hookrightarrow_s$, obtaining large families of non stably isomorphic II$_1$…
We study the topological properties of a class of planar crystallographic replication tiles. Let $M\in\mathbb{Z}^{2\times2}$ be an expanding matrix with characteristic polynomial $x^2+Ax+B$ ($A,B\in\mathbb{Z}$, $B\geq 2$) and ${\bf…
We present a generalization of free fermionic topological insulators that are composed of topological subsystems of differing dimensionality. We specifically focus on topological subsystems of nonzero co-dimension are embedded within a…
In the abstract Tile Assembly Model, self-assembling systems consisting of tiles of different colors can form structures on which colored patterns are ``painted.'' We explore the complexity, in terms of the numbers of unique tile types…
We present a substitution rule for a rhomb tiling with 10-fold rotational symmetry. The tiling is closely related to the Penrose rhomb tilings and can be obtained from the pentagrid construction. We introduce a finite set of marked…
We investigate to what extent a minimal topological dynamical system is uniquely determined by a set of return times to some open set. We show that in many situations this is indeed the case as long as the closure of this open set has no…
Let $\Gamma$ be a group of type rotating automorphisms of a building $\cB$ of type $\widetilde A_2$, and suppose that $\Gamma$ acts freely and transitively on the vertex set of $\cB$. The apartments of $\cB$ are tiled by triangles, labelled…
Icosahedral tilings, although non-periodic, are known to be characterized by their configurations of some finite size. This characterization has also been expressed in terms of a simple alternation condition. We provide an alternative proof…
This paper discusses the thermodynamic properties for certain time-dependent dynamical systems. In particular, we are interested in time-dependent dynamical systems with the specification property. We show that each time-dependent dynamical…
The linear stability parameter delta is commonly used as a figure of merit for the nonlinear dynamics of the tearing mode. It is shown, through state of the art numerical simulations, that factors other than delta can play a very important…
To understand an aperiodic tiling (or a quasicrystal modeled on an aperiodic tiling), we construct a space of similar tilings, on which the group of translations acts naturally. This space is then an (abstract) dynamical system. Dynamical…
We identify pairs of (twisted) multiplicative Hitchin fibrations which are "dual" in the sense that their bases are identified and their generic fibres are dual Beilinson $1$-motives. More precisely, we match the following: (1) an untwisted…
Two seemingly different properties of 2-complexes were developed concurrently as criteria for the nonpositive immersion property: 'good stackings' and 'bislim structures'. We establish an equivalence between these properties by introducing…
The quest for the topological phases of matter in an aperiodic system has been greatly developed recently. Here we investigate the effects of disorder on topological phases of a two-dimensional Ammann-Beenker tiling quasicrystalline…
The preceding paper constructed tangle machines as diagrammatic models, and illustrated their utility with a number of examples. The information content of a tangle machine is contained in characteristic quantities associated to equivalence…
Motivated by theoretically and experimentally observed structural phases with octagonal symmetry, we introduce a family of octagonal tilings which are composed of three prototiles. We define our tilings with respect to two non-negative…
