Abstract

A tiling with infinite rotational symmetry, such as the Conway– Radin Pinwheel Tiling, gives rise to a topological dynamical system to which an etale equivalence relation is associated. A groupoid ´ C ∗ -algebra for a tiling is produced and a separating dense set is exhibited in the C ∗ -algebra which encodes the structure of the topological dynamical system. In the case of a substitution tiling, natural subsets of this separating dense set are used to de- fine an AT-subalgebra of the C ∗ -algebra. Finally our results are applied to the Pinwheel Tiling.
