Abstract

In this short note we construct a spectral, non-tiling set of size 2p2p in (Z/pZ)4(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^4, pp odd prime. This example complements a previous counterexample in [arXiv:1509.01090], which existed only for p3(mod4)p \equiv 3 \pmod{4}. On the contrary we show that the conjecture does hold in (Z/2Z)4(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^4.

Comments

This result was found simultaneously and independently with [arXiv:1901.08734]. However, it contained an error which was fixed afterwards (again independently). We record it here as it gives a more geometrical approach to more or less the same construction
