Periodic orbit-closure conjecture for exact-cluster tilings
Periodic orbit-closure conjecture for exact-cluster tilings
Let be an exact cluster with full affine span, and let be an -tiling. The orbit closure of is
A tiling is -periodic if it has a nonzero period in .
Periodic orbit-closure conjecture. The orbit closure
contains a -periodic -tiling.
This conjecture would extend the expected link between low pattern complexity and periodicity to tilings by possibly non-convex windows. The paper states that its counterexample refutes this conjecture, so it is disproved.
