INTEGRAL COHOMOLOGY OF RATIONAL PROJECTION METHOD PATTERNS

Résumé

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 develops both a theoretical framework and a practical toolkit for the discussion and calculation of their integral cohomology, and extends previous work that only successfully addressed rational cohomological invariants. Our framework uni es the several previous methods used to study the cohomology of these patterns. We obtain explicit calculational results for the main examples of icosahedral patterns in R3 { the Danzer tiling, the Ammann-Kramer tiling and the Canonical and Dual Canonical D6 tilings { as well as results for many of the better known 2 dimensional examples.
