A self-similar aperiodic set of 19 Wang tiles

Abstract: We define a Wang tile set U of cardinality 19 and show that the set Ω U of all valid Wang tilings Z 2 → U is self-similar, aperiodic and is a minimal subshift of U Z 2 . Thus U is the second smallest self-similar aperiodic Wang tile set known after Ammann's set of 16 Wang tiles. The proof is based on the unique composition property. We prove the existence of an expansive, primitive and recognizable 2-dimensional morphism ω : Ω U → Ω U that is onto up to a shift. The proof of recognizability is done in two step… Show more

“…(This result was proven in [14] for a tile set τ constructed in [12]. Other examples of minimal aperiodic SFTs were suggested in in [30,29].) Our next result in some sense strengthens Theorem 2: we claim that there exists a quasiperiodic SFT that contains only non-computable configurations.…”

“…The square of the morphism ω U has eight distinct fixed points z = ω U (z) ∈ Ω U that can be generated from the following values of z at the origin: Proof. The proof is done by applying the morphism ω U on each of the fifty 2 × 2 factors of the language of Ω U already computed in [Lab18]. We get a graph shown in Figure 12 Finally we illustrate in Figure 13 the language of horizontal dominoes in Ω U as a Rauzy graph.…”

“…The study of bidimensional words is less developed, even though many concepts and results are naturally extendable from the unidimensional case (see e.g. [2,5,6,10,14,15,22,26]). However, some words problems become much more difficult in dimensions higher than one.…”
