Cohomology groups for projection tilings of codimension 2
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gap-labelling group, which provides the set of possible values of the integrated density of states on gaps in the spectrum of a Hamiltonian describing particles in a tiling, is frequently related to the cohomology of the tiling. We present explicit results for the cohomology of many well-known tilings obtained from the cut and projection method with codimension 2, including the (generalized) Penrose tilings, the Tübingen triangle tiling, the Ammann–Beenker tiling, and the Socolar tiling. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Cohomology of Canonical Projection Tilings
We define the cohomology of a tiling as the cocycle cohomology of its associated groupoid and consider this cohomology for the class of tilings which are obtained from a higher dimensional lattice by the canonical projection method in Schlottmann’s formulation. We prove the cohomology to be equivalent to a certain cohomology of the lattice. We discuss one of its qualitative features, namely tha...
متن کاملTorsion in Tiling Homology and Cohomology
The first author’s recent unexpected discovery of torsion in the integral cohomology of the Tübingen Triangle Tiling has led to a reevaluation of current descriptions of and calculational methods for the topological invariants associated with aperiodic tilings. The existence of torsion calls into question the previously assumed equivalence of cohomological and K-theoretic invariants as well as ...
متن کاملCohomology groups for projection point patterns
Aperiodic point sets (or tilings) which can be obtained by the method of cut and projection from higher dimensional periodic sets play an important role for the description of quasicrystals. Their topological invariants can be computed using the higher dimensional periodic structure. We report on the results obtained for the cohomology groups of projection point patterns supplemented by explici...
متن کاملCohomology of matching rules
Quasiperiodic patterns described by polyhedral “atomic surfaces” and admitting matching rules are considered. It is shown that the cohomology ring of the continuous hull of such patterns is isomorphic to that of the complement of a torus T to an arrangement A of thickened affine tori of codimension two. Explicit computation of Betti numbers for several two-dimensional tilings and for the icosah...
متن کاملIntegral Cohomology of Rational Projection Method Patterns
We study the cohomology and hence K-theory of the aperiodic tilings formed by the so called ‘cut and project’ method, i.e., patterns in d dimensional Euclidean space which arise as sections of higher dimensional, periodic structures. They form one of the key families of patterns used in quasicrystal physics, where their topological invariants carry quantum mechanical information. Our work devel...
