We introduce the concept of a {\it reflection quasilattice}, the quasiperiodic generalization of a Bravais lattice with irreducible reflection symmetry. Among their applications, reflection quasilattices are the reciprocal (i.e. Bragg diffraction) lattices for quasicrystals and quasicrystal tilings, such as Penrose tilings, with irreducible reflection symmetry and discrete scale invariance. In a follow-up paper, we will show that reflection quasilattices can be used to generate tilings in real…

We study 1D quasilattices, especially self-similar ones that can be used to generate two-, three- and higher-dimensional quasicrystalline tesselations that have matching rules and invertible

We identify a precise geometric relationship between: (i) certain natural pairs of irreducible reflection groups ("Coxeter pairs"); (ii) self-similar quasicrystalline patterns formed by superposing

The authors study the quasiperiodic structures which can be derived from E8. This lattice, suitably oriented, leads to a 4D quasicrystal which has (3,3,5) symmetry. They develop a modified version of

Penrose tilings have become the canonical model for quasicrystal structure, primarily because of their simplicity in comparison with other decagonally symmetric quasiperiodic tilings of the plane.
Quasicrystals: a new class of ordered structures

A quasicrystal is the natural extension of the notion of a crystal to structures with quasiperiodic, rather than periodic, translational order. We classify two- and three-dimensional quasicrystals by

In 1962 Bienenstock and Ewald described a simple and systematic method for computing all the crystallographic space groups in Fourier space. Their approach is reformulated and further simplified,
