Let two lattices have the same number of points on each hyperbolic surface . We investigate the case when Λ’, Λ” are sublattices of of the same prime index and show that then Λ’ and Λ” must coincide up to renumbering the coordinate axes and changing their directions.
We show that an aperiodic minimal tiling space with only finitely many asymptotic composants embeds in a surface if and only if it is the suspension of a symbolic interval exchange transformation (possibly with reversals). We give two necessary conditions for an aperiodic primitive substitution tiling space to embed in a surface. In the case of substitutions on two symbols our classification is nearly complete. The results characterize the codimension one hyperbolic attractors of surface diffeomorphisms...
Le but de cette note est de tenter d’expliquer les liens étroits qui unissent la théorie des empilements de cercles et des modules combinatoires et de comparer les approches à la conjecture de J.W. Cannon qui en découlent.
