For a finite subset D of $$\mathbb {Z}^2$$, the D-patterns of a configuration are the colored patterns of shape D that appear in the configuration. The number of distinct D-patterns of a configuration is a natural measure of its complexity. A configuration is considered having low complexity with respect to shape D if the number of distinct D-patterns is at most |D|, the size of the shape. This extended abstract is a short review of an algebraic method to study periodicity of such low complexity configurations. %G English %Z TC 1 %Z WG 1.02 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-02387291/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-02387291/file/480958_1_En_2_Chapter.pdf %L hal-02387291 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-02387291 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC1 %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-DCFS %~ IFIP-WG1-2 %~ IFIP-LNCS-11612
