Quasicrystals are perfectly ordered materials, but are strictly speaking crystals only in a higher dimensional space. Three di erent types of problems have been considered in our group: a) Electronic states and the critical “wavefunctions”. b) E ect of correlations. c) Charge density waves, in collaboration with experimentalists from the LPS. We are currently working on: 1) Topological properties and e ect of interactions, in competition with disorder (Mott-Anderson localization). 2) The nature of the observed magnetic phases in rare earth quasicrystals. 3) The superconductivity and topological states in quasi- one dimensional aperiodic models. 4) Dynamical properties of skyrmion states in quantum Hall systems.
