It suggests that Theorem 2.3 gives a way to extract information from the geometry of the low capacity lines. Section 3.2 proves that, relative to the parameter p/q, the 0th block always contains a polygon whose projection onto the X-axis has diameter at least (p + q)/2. Section 3.3 elaborates on the theme in Section 3.2 to show how to extract increasingly fine scale information about the plaid polygons. Section 3.4 explains how to augment the idea in Section 3.3 to make it more useful. Section 3.5 shows how the ideas from Section 3.3 sometimes explain why the plaid model looks similar at different rational parameters.","PeriodicalId":205299,"journal":{"name":"The Plaid Model","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133640897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both of these results are deduced from Theorem 8.2, which says that the union PLA of plaid polygons is generated by an explicitly defined tiling classifying space (ලA, XP). Moreover, there is a nice space X which has the individual spaces XP as rational slices. The space X has a partition into convex polytopes, and one obtains the partition of XP by intersecting the relevant slice with this partition. Section 8.2 describes the space X. Section 8.3 describes the partition of X into convex integer polytopes. The partition is called the checkerboard partition. Section 8.4 explains the classifying map ΦA : Π → XP. Section 8.5 states Theorem 8.2 and deduces Theorem 1.4 and Theorem 0.3 from it.","PeriodicalId":205299,"journal":{"name":"The Plaid Model","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127646506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this part is to prove the Orbit Equivalence Theorem and the Quasi-Isomorphism Theorem. Theorem 17.1 (Orbit Equivalence) states that there is a dynamically large subset Z ⊂ X and a map Ω: Z → Y. Section 17.2 defines Z. Section 17.3 defines Ω. Section 17.4 characterizes the image Ω(Z). Section 17.5 defines a partition of Z into small convex polytopes which have the property that all the maps in Equations 17.1 and 1 are entirely defined and projective on each polytope. This allows us to verify the properties in the Orbit Equivalence Theorem just by checking what the two relevant maps do to the vertices of the new partition. Section 17.6 puts everything together and prove the Orbit Equivalence Theorem modulo some integer computer calculations. Section 17.7 discusses the computational techniques used to carry out the calculations from Section 17.6. Section 17.8 explains the calculations.","PeriodicalId":205299,"journal":{"name":"The Plaid Model","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129122165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Section 22.4 examines how the plaid model interacts with the grid of all lines of capacity at most K.
