Abstract
AbstractWe consider the dynamics of light rays in triangle tilings where triangles are transparent and adjacent triangles have equal but opposite indices of refraction. We find that the behavior of a trajectory on a triangle tiling is described by an orientation‐reversing three‐interval exchange transformation on the circle, and that the behavior of all the trajectories on a given triangle tiling is described by a polygon exchange transformation. We observe that, for a particular choice of triangle tiling, certain trajectories appear to approach the Rauzy fractal, under rescaling.
