The tilt conjecture for the hat tiling growth form

About 1 year old · traced to

Let α\alpha satisfy

tan⁡(α)=33+2τ,\tan(\alpha)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3+2\tau},

where τ\tau is the golden ratio, and let γ\gamma denote the tilt angle of the growth form of the hat tiling. Hat growth-form tilt conjecture. The growth form of the hat tiling is tilted by

γ=−α=−0.270919.\gamma=-\alpha=-0.270919.

The conjecture is motivated by the slopes of the triangulation lines and by computer experiments. The paper does not prove the asserted tilt angle.
