On the structure of cube tiling codes
Abstract
Let be a set of arbitrary objects, and let . A polybox code is a set with the property that for every two words there is with , where a permutation of is such that and . If , then is called a cube tiling code. Cube tiling codes determine -periodic cube tilings of or, equivalently, tilings of the flat torus by translates of the unit cube as well as -perfect codes in in the maximum metric. By a structural result, cube tiling codes for are enumerated. It is computed that there are 27,385 non-isomorphic cube tiling codes in dimension four, and the total number of such codes is equal to 17,794,836,080,455,680. Moreover, some procedure of passing from a cube tiling code to a cube tiling code in dimensions is given.
