Pisot Substitution Conjecture for one-dimensional inflation tilings
Pisot Substitution Conjecture for one-dimensional inflation tilings
Let a one-dimensional self-similar inflation tiling have Pisot scaling factor , where is a real algebraic integer whose conjugates have modulus strictly less than one. Let be its abelianisation, or substitution, matrix.
Pisot Substitution Conjecture. The tiling has pure point spectrum if has an irreducible characteristic polynomial; equivalently, if the algebraic degree of equals the dimension of , or the number of tile types.
The conjecture is known in the two-tile case and for certain classes of inflation rules, including rules injective on the first tile and constant on the last tile, as well as -substitutions. A general proof is missing, and the source notes that irreducibility is not invariant under topological conjugacy even though spectral type is.
