Abstract/Summary:
We study the cut and projection method, which is a way to construct tilings. This construction leads to a minimal Zd -action on the Cantor set. In this thesis, we will focus our attention on two examples that we will describe in full details. the Fibonacci tiling on R and the octogonal tiling on R2 . For the octogonal tiling, we find small strictly positive cocycles for the minimal action on specific cones of Z2 .
