Homological aperiodic tilings of 3-dimensional geometries
Piotr W. Nowak, Shmuel Weinberger · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2012
We construct the first aperiodic tiles for two amenable 3-dimensional Lie groups: Sol and the Heisenberg group. Our construction relies on the use of higher-dimensional uniformly finite homology. In particular, we settle completely the existence of aperiodic tiles for all of the non-compact geometries of 3-manifolds appearing in the geometrization conjecture.
