The substitution equivalence conjecture for substitution tiling spaces

About 27 years old · traced to

Let Tχ\mathcal{T}_{\chi} and Tψ\mathcal{T}_{\psi} be the tiling spaces associated with substitutions χ\chi and ψ\psi, and let χ~\tilde{\chi} and ψ~\tilde{\psi} denote the associated substitutions appearing in the inverse-limit model. Let ∼w\sim_w denote the relevant weak equivalence relation. The substitution tiling-space conjecture.

Tχ≃Tψif and only ifχ~∼wψ~.\mathcal{T}_{\chi}\simeq\mathcal{T}_{\psi}\quad\text{if and only if}\quad\tilde{\chi}\sim_w\tilde{\psi}.

This is the restriction of the preceding general conjecture to substitution tiling spaces. The paper proves the forward implication at the level of the associated matrices and the corresponding Perron-eigenvalue field consequence, but does not establish the asserted equivalence in full.
