Abstract

We prove that if a tile in Zd\mathbb Z^d has prime size pp, then it must be spectral. The proof is by contradiction, it is simply shown that the tiling complement of such a tile can not annihilate all pp-subgroups. In addition, with a simple transformation we prove that any pp points in general linear positions in Zd(dp1)\mathbb Z^d (d\ge p-1) must be both tiling and spectral.
