Lie algebras associated with one-dimensional aperiodic point sets

Abstract

The set of points of a one-dimensional cut-and-project quasicrystal or model set, while not additive, is shown to be multiplicative for appropriate choices of acceptance windows. This leads to the definition of an associative additive graded composition law and permits the introduction of Lie algebras over such aperiodic point sets. These infinite dimensional Lie algebras are shown to be representatives of a new type of semi-direct product induced Lie algebras.
