A Survey on Topological Properties of Tiles Related to Number Systems

In the present paper we give an overview of topological properties of self-affine tiles. After reviewing some basic results on self-affine tiles and their boundary we give criteria for their local connectivity and connectivity. Furthermore, we study the connectivity of the interior of a family of tiles associated to quadratic number systems and give results on their fundamental group. If a self-affine tile tessellates the space the structure of the set of its ‘neighbors’ is discussed.
