Jordan algebras over icosahedral cut-and-project quasicrystals
read the original abstract
In this paper we present a general setting for aperiodic Jordan algebras arising from icosahedral quasicrystals that are obtainable as model sets of a cut-and-project scheme with a convex acceptance window. In these hypothesis, we show the existence of an aperiodic Jordan algebra structure whose generators are in one-to-one correspondence with elements of the quasicrystal. Moreover, if the acceptance window enjoys a non-crystallographic symmetry arising from H2, H3 or H4 then the resulting Jordan algebra enjoys the same H2, H3 or H4 symmetry. Finally, we present as special cases some examples of Jordan algebras over a Fibonacci-chain quasicrystal, a Penrose tiling, and the Elser-Sloane quasicrystal.

Non-crystallographic systems of integers over composition algebras
A new free rank-8 Z[φ]-order is built by doubling the icosian ring, equipped with a 240-element H4⊕H4 finite root shell, shown to be self-dual under the polar norm and free of octonion-stable nonzero isotropic gluings...
