Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Piecewise isometries (PWIs) are known to have dynamical properties that generate interesting geometric planar packings. We analyze a particular PWI introduced by Goetz that generates a packing by periodically coded cells, each of which is a pentagon. Our main result is that the tangency graph associated with this packing is a forest (i.e., has no nontrivial cycles). We show, however, that this is not a general property of PWIs by giving an example that has an infinite number of cycles in the tangency graph of its periodically coded cells.
