Sandpile dynamics are considered on graphs constructed from periodic plane and space tilings by assigning a growing piece of the tiling, either torus or open boundary conditions. A general method obtaining Green’s function tiling is given, total variation cut-off phenomenon demonstrated under It shown that condition does not affect mixing time for planar tilings. In companion paper, computation...
