The commensurable-sides conjecture for 2π/32\pi/3 tilings

About 1 year old · traced to

Let a non-reptile tiling have incommensurable angles and let the tile angle denoted by γ\gamma satisfy

γ=2π3.\gamma=\frac{2\pi}{3}.

Commensurable-sides conjecture. The tiling must have commensurable sides.

The paper notes that most constructions use an equilateral triangle as an intermediate object, for which commensurability is known, and suggests that a construction violating the conjecture would need to avoid such an intermediary. The conjecture remains open in the supplied text.
