The 5-gonal symmetry conjecture for Delone sets

Let XR3X\subset\mathbb R^3 be a Delone set with parameter RR. For each point xXx\in X, let Sx(2R)S_x(2R) be its local group, and let YY be the subset of points whose local groups contain no 5-fold axes. 5-gonal symmetry conjecture. Given a Delone set XR3X\subset\mathbb R^3, the subset YY of points xx whose groups Sx(2R)S_x(2R) are free of 5-fold axes is also a Delone set. This conjecture is presented as a consequence of the crystalline kernel conjecture, since KYK\subseteq Y; the source gives no resolution of either claim.
