We introduce a formalism for handling general spaces of hierarchical tilings, a category that includes substitution tilings, Bratteli-Vershik systems, S-adic transformations, and multi-dimensional cut-and-stack transformations. We explore ergodic, spectral and topological properties of these spaces. We show that familiar properties of substitution tilings carry over under appropriate assumption...

In their fundamental studies of the finite dimensional representations of associative algebras, Artin and Procesi proved that the primitive ideals corresponding to irreducible n-dimensional representations (for fixed n, over an algebraically closed field) can be homeomorphically parameterized by a locally closed subset of the maximal spectrum of a suitably chosen affine commutative trace ring. ...

A Lyapunov-based approach for the trajectory generation of an N-dimensional Schrödinger equation in whole RN is proposed. For the case of a quantum particle in an N-dimensional decaying potential the convergence is precisely analyzed. The free system admitting a mixed spectrum, the dispersion through the absolutely continuous part is the main obstacle to ensure such a stabilization result. When...

It is shown that the eigenvalue problem for the hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator of for a uniform magnetic field in two dimensions can be reduced to one-dimensional problem described by a relativistic analog of the Harper equation. An explicit formula for the secular equations is given in term of a set of polynomials. The spectrum exhibits a fractal structure in the infinite volume limit. An exa...
