AbstractIn Bernoulli site percolation on Penrose tilings there are two natural definitions of the critical probability. This paper shows that they are equal on almost all Penrose tilings. It also shows that for almost all Penrose tilings the number of infinite clusters is almost surely 0 or 1. The results generalize to percolation on a large class of aperiodic tilings in arbitrary dimension, to percolation on ergodic subgraphs of ℤd, and to other percolation processes, including Bernoulli bond percolation.

We study the structural transformations induced, via the cut-and-project method, in quasicrystals and tilings by lattice transitions in higher dimensions, with a focus on transition paths preserving at least some symmetry in intermediate lattices. We discuss the effect of such transformations on planar aperiodic Penrose tilings, and on three-dimensional aperiodic Ammann tilings with icosahedral symmetry. We find that locally the transformations in the aperiodic structures occur through the mechanisms of tile splitting, tile flipping and tile merger, and we investigate the origin of these local transformation mechanisms within the projection framework.

We discuss lattice gas models on the vertices of tilings in arbitrary dimension that are self-similar in the way Penrose tilings of the plane are self-similar. Among these, there are systems that fundamentally lack translation invariance. Under natural hypotheses on the interactions and the states, we prove the existence of thermodynaraic functions — the mean pressure, the mean energy and the mean entropy — and derive the variational principle. The relation between Gibbs states and tangent functionals to the mean pressure is investigated. Generalizations to quantum systems are also discussed. Our work extends results known for lattice gas models on periodic lattices.
