A pentagonal crystal, the golden section, alcove packing and aperiodic tilings

Abstract: A Lie theoretic interpretation is given to a pattern with five-fold symmetry occurring in aperiodic Penrose tiling based on isosceles triangles with length ratios equal to the Golden Section. Specifically a B(∞) crystal based on that of Kashiwara is constructed exhibiting this five-fold symmetry. It is shown that it can be represented as a Kashiwara B(∞) crystal in type A 4 . Similar crystals with (2n + 1)-fold symmetry are represented as Kashiwara crystals in type A 2n . The weight diagrams of the latter insp… Show more

“…Similarly to Remark 1.3, our constructions, results and conjectures make sense if one replaces U q (g) by U(g) for any (symmetrizable or not) Kac-Moody algebra g. Some results (for example, Theorem 1.8) should be possible to rescue even when W is not crystallographic (and so g does not exists) with the aid of theory of continuous crystals initiated by A. Joseph in [22].…”
