Bellissard's gap labeling conjecture for quasicrystals without magnetic field

Let Λ\Lambda be the quasicrystal with transversal Ωtrans\Omega_{trans}, and let Aθ=0\mathcal{A}_{\theta=0} be its twisted groupoid CC^*-algebra for zero magnetic field. The trace induces the gap-labeling map

Tr:K0(Aθ=0)R.Tr_*:K_0(\mathcal{A}_{\theta=0})\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}.

The set of gap labels is given by

Bellissardsgaplabelingconjecture.Tr(K0(Aθ=0))=ΩtransC(Ωtrans,Z),\mathbf{**Bellissard's gap labeling conjecture.**} \quad Tr_*(K_0(\mathcal{A}_{\theta=0}))=\int_{\Omega_{trans}} C(\Omega_{trans},\operatorname{\mathbb{Z}}),

which is precisely the group generated by the patch frequencies of Λ\Lambda. This conjecture predicts that, in the absence of a magnetic field, all gap labels are determined by the transversal and its patch frequencies. The source does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
