Researchers from University of Oviedo Report on Findings in Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems

  2012 APR 10 - (VerticalNews.com) -- "The cohomology groups of tiling spaces with three-fold and nine-fold symmetries are obtained," scientists in Oviedo, Spain report.

  "The substitution tilings are characterized by the fact that they have vanishing first cohomology group in the space of tilings modulo a rotation. The rank of the rational first cohomology, in the tiling space formed by the closure of a translational orbit, equals the Euler totient function evaluated at N if the underlying rotation group is Z(N)," wrote J.G. Escudero and colleagues, University of Oviedo.

  The researchers concluded: "When the symmetries are of crystallographic type, the cohomologies are infinitely generated."

  Escudero and colleagues published their study in Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society (Substitutions with Vanishing Rotationally Invariant First Cohomology. Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2012;():1-15).
