  1. Low complexity Tilings of the Plane Jarkko Kari Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Turku, Finland

  2. We study how local constraints enforce global regularities This is a common phenomenon is sciences. For example, formation of crystals: Atoms attach to each other in a limited number of ways = ⇒ periodic arrangement of the atoms

  3. Our goal is to understand fundamental underlying principles that connect local rules to the global regularities observed in the structures. Our setup: multidimensional symbolic dynamics (=tilings)

  4. Configurations are infinite d -dimensional grids of symbols.

  5. For a fixed finite shape D , we observe the D -patterns in the configuration.

  9. For a fixed finite shape D , we observe the D -patterns in the configuration.

  10. A quantity to measure local complexity: the pattern complexity P ( c, D ) = number of D -patterns in c .

  11. We call c a low complexity configuration if P ( c, D ) ≤ | D | for some finite D ⊆ Z 2 .

  12. Configuration c is periodic if it is invariant under a non-zero translation.

  13. Configuration c is two-periodic if it is invariant under non-zero translations in two different directions. This implies periodicity in every rational direction.

  14. Open problem: Nivat’s conjecture Consider d = 2 and rectangular D . Conjecture (Nivat 1997) If c has low complexity with respect to some rectangle then c is periodic.

  15. Open problem: Nivat’s conjecture Consider d = 2 and rectangular D . Conjecture (Nivat 1997) If c has low complexity with respect to some rectangle then c is periodic. This would extend the one-dimensional case d = 1: Morse-Hedlund theorem: Let c ∈ A Z and n ∈ N . If c has at most n distinct subwords of length n then c is periodic.

  16. Best known general bound in 2D: Theorem (Cyr, Kra): If P ( c, D ) ≤ 1 2 | D | for some rectangle D then c is periodic.

  27. Famous result by R.Berger (1962): • Undecidability of the domino problem : It is undecidable if a given SFT is empty. • There exist aperiodic SFTs : non-empty SFTs that only contain non-periodic configurations.

Famous result by R.Berger (1962): • Undecidability of the domino problem : It is undecidable if a given SFT is empty. • There exist aperiodic SFTs : non-empty SFTs that only contain non-periodic configurations. We are interested in the analogous problems restricted to low complexity SFTs , where the number of allowed D -patterns is at most | D | .
