Abstract

We define a notion of tiling of the full infinite pp-ary tree, establishing a series of equivalent criteria for a subtree to be a tile, each of a different nature; namely, geometric, algebraic, graph-theoretic, order-theoretic, and topological. We show how these results can be applied in a straightforward and constructive manner to define homeomorphisms between two given spaces of pp-adic integers, Zp\mathbb{Z}_{p} and Zq\mathbb{Z}_{q}, endowed with their corresponding standard non-archimedean metric topologies.
