Abstract

We consider measurable functions ff on R\mathbb{R} that tile simultaneously by two arithmetic progressions αZ\alpha \mathbb{Z} and βZ\beta \mathbb{Z} at respective tiling levels pp and qq. We are interested in two main questions: what are the possible values of the tiling levels p,qp,q, and what is the least possible measure of the support of ff? We obtain sharp results which show that the answers depend on arithmetic properties of α,β\alpha, \beta and p,qp,q, and in particular, on whether the numbers α,β\alpha, \beta are rationally independent or not.
