Icosahedral coincidence rotations
نویسنده
چکیده
The coincidence problem for three-dimensional discrete structures with icosahedral symmetry is reinvestigated. We present a parametric description of the coincidence rotations based on special quaternions, called icosian numbers. In particular, we give a characterization of the possible coincidence indices S-factors and present a complete list of the possible rotations with S < 50.

Coincidence Rotations of the Root Lattice a 4 Dedicated to Ludwig Danzer on the Occasion of His 80th Birthday
The coincidence site lattices of the root lattice A4 are considered, and the statistics of the corresponding coincidence rotations according to their indices is expressed in terms of a Dirichlet series generating function. This is possible via an embedding of A4 into the icosian ring with its rich arithmetic structure, which recently [6] led to the classification of the similar sublattices of A...

A natural way to describe the Penrose tiling employs the projection method on the basis of the root lattice A4 or its dual. Properties of these lattices are thus related to properties of the Penrose tiling. Moreover, the root lattice A4 appears in various other contexts such as sphere packings, efficient coding schemes and lattice quantizers. Here, the lattice A4 is considered within the icosia...
