Description:
In 1966, Harry Kesten settled the Erdős–Szüsz conjecture on the local discrepancy of irrational rotations. His proof made heavy use of continued fractions and Diophantine analysis. In this paper, we give a purely topological proof Kesten's theorem (and Oren's generalization of it) using the pattern equivariant cohomology of aperiodic tiling spaces.
