The Spectre is an aperiodic monotile for the Euclidean plane that is truly chiral in the sense that it tiles the plane without any need for a reflected tile. The topological and dynamical properties of the Spectre tilings are very similar to those of the Hat tilings. Specifically, the Spectre sits within a complex $2$-dimensional family of tilings, most of which involve two shapes rather than one. All tilings in the family give topologically conjugate dynamics, up to an overall rescaling and rotation. They all have pure point dynamical spectrum with continuous eigenfunctions and may be obtained from a $4:2$ dimensional cut-and-project scheme with regular windows of Rauzy fractal type. The diffraction measure of any Spectre tiling is pure point as well. For fixed scale and orientation, varying the shapes is MLD equivalent to merely varying the projection direction. These properties all follow from the first \v{C}ech cohomology being as small as it possibly could be, leaving no room for shape changes that alter the dynamics.

  1. Quantum error-correcting codes from aperiodic monotiles: the Hat and the Spectre

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    The Hat and Spectre aperiodic monotiles define erasure-correcting quantum codes with two local-indistinguishability sectors; under SE(2) the Hat retains a superselected chirality bit while the Spectre's label is gauged away.
