Classification of conservation-forced primitive substitution tilings
Classification of conservation-forced primitive substitution tilings
Let be a primitive substitution tiling system of with finite local complexity. Call it conservation-forced when it satisfies the conservation-law conditions defined earlier in the paper. Let denote the Perron–Frobenius eigenvalue of the substitution matrix . The tiling is also assumed, in the second condition below, to arise from a lattice as a canonical projection tiling satisfying the paper's Definition~. Classification conjecture. The following conditions are equivalent:
- is conservation-forced.
- is a primitive-substitution canonical projection tiling arising from a lattice and satisfying Definition~, and is a Pisot number.
The implication from condition 2 to condition 1 is proved, even without the Pisot assumption, whereas the converse implication remains open.
