Tiling groupoids and Bratteli diagrams
Let T be an aperiodic and repetitive tiling of R^d with finite local
complexity. Let O be its tiling space with canonical transversal X. The tiling
equivalence relation R_X is the set of pairs of tilings in X which are
translates of each others, with a certain (etale) topology. In this paper R_X
is reconstructed as a generalized "tail equivalence" on a Bratteli diagram,
with its standard AF-relation as a subequivalence relation.
Using a generalization of the Anderson-Putnam complex, O is identified with
the inverse limit of a sequence of finite CW-complexes. A Bratteli diagram B is
built from this sequence, and its set of infinite paths dB is homeomorphic to
X. The diagram B is endowed with a horizontal structure: additional edges that
encode the adjacencies of patches in T. This allows to define an etale
equivalence relation R_B on dB which is homeomorphic to R_X, and contains the
AF-relation of "tail equivalence".Comment: 34 pages, 4 figure
