Mozes, Shahar Tilings, substitution systems and dynamical systems generated by them. (English) Zbl 0745.52013 J. Anal. Math. 53, 139-186 (1989). The tiling problem is the question whether, given a finite set of unit square domain tiles with certain adjacency rules (“tiling system”), there exists a tiling of the entire plane using copies of these tiles: this problem has been proved undecidable by Berger. The author of the paper under review associates to a tiling system a dynamical system consisting of all tilings of the planes using this tiling system with the natural action of \(\mathbb{Z}^ 2\) by translations. He addresses the question of checking what classes of dynamical systems can be realized this way. He studies in particular relations between \(2-D\) substitution systems and tiling systems from the point of view of dynamical systems, giving several nice examples. Finally he sketches a new proof of the undecidability of the tiling problem.
