  • Ted Janssen (Nijmegen): Crystallography of quasiperiodic tilings
  • Jeff Lagarias (AT&T): Substitution Delone sets
  • Robert Moody (Alberta): Multi-component model sets, lattice substitution systems, and self-similar measures
  • Nic Ormes (Texas): Rotations and the topology of substitution spaces
  • Natalie Priebe (Rensselaer): Pseudo-self-similar tilings are MLD from self-similar tilings
  • Ian Putnam (Victoria): Cohomology and K-theory of spaces of tilings
  • Charles Radin (Texas): When are two tilings the same?
  • Robbie Robinson (George Washington): A dynamical systems approach to the symmetry properties of aperiodic tilings

  • THE SCHEDULE AND ABSTRACTS OF TALKS ARE AVAILABLE.


    Note: we are planning to hold a roundtable discussion Saturday evening (8:30pm) to get a sense of the progress of the subject in its many directions.

    For those arriving by plane, the new airport (Austin-Bergstrom) has a web site which includes useful information on ground transportation, in particular the convenient Capitol Metro buses and SuperShuttle vans. We have finally collected a list of local dining choices, and a convenient web site for the weather in Austin.
