Let $\Omega$ be a compact convex domain in the plane. We prove that $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthogonal basis of exponentials if and only if $\Omega$ tiles the plane by translation.

We prove that no smooth symmetric convex body $\Omega$ with at least one point of non-vanishing Gaussian curvature can admit an orthogonal basis of exponentials. (The non-symmetric case was proven by Kolountzakis). This is further evidence…

We give an example of a set $\Omega \subset \R^5$ which is a finite union of unit cubes, such that $L^2(\Omega)$ admits an orthonormal basis of exponentials $\{\frac{1}{|\Omega|^{1/2}} e^{2\pi i \xi_j \cdot x}: \xi_j \in \Lambda \}$ for…

A set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is said to be spectral if the space $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthogonal basis of exponential functions. A conjecture due to Fuglede (1974) stated that $\Omega$ is a spectral set if and only if it can tile the…

Let $\Omega$ be a convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We say that $\Omega$ is spectral if the space $L^2(\Omega)$ admits an orthogonal basis consisting of exponential functions. There is a conjecture, which goes back to Fuglede (1974), that…

The purpose of the present paper is to address multiple aspects of the Fuglede question dealing (Fourier spectra vs geometry) with a variety of $L^2$ contexts where we make precise the interplay between the three sides of the question: (i)…

Fuglede's conjecture states that for a subset $\Omega$ of a locally compact abelian group $G$ with positive and finite Haar measure, there exists a subset of the dual group of $G$ which is an orthogonal basis of $L^{2}(\Omega)$ if and only…

A conjecture of Fuglede states that a bounded measurable set D, of measure 1, can tile space by translations if and only if the Hilbert space L^2(D) has an orthonormal basis consisting of exponentials exp(i 2 pi lambda x). If D has the…

In this note we give an example of a set $\W\subset \R^4$ such that $L^2(\W)$ admits an orthonormal basis of exponentials $\{\frac{1}{|\W |^{1/2}}e^{2\pi i x, \xi}\}_{\xi\in\L}$ for some set $\L\subset\R^4$, but which does not tile $\R^4$…

A conjecture of Fuglede states that a bounded measurable set $\Omega$ in space, of measure 1, can tile space by translations if and only if the Hilbert space $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthonormal basis consisting of exponentials. If $\Omega$ has…

The study of Fuglede's conjecture on the direct product of elementary abelian groups was initiated by Iosevich et al. For the product of two elementary abelian groups the conjecture holds. For $\mathbb{Z}_p^3$ the problem is still open if…

In this paper we go over the history of the Fuglede or Spectral Set Conjecture as it has developed over the last 30 years or so. We do not aim to be exhaustive and we do not cover important areas of development such as the results on the…

In this paper we study subsets $E$ of ${\Bbb Z}_p^d$ such that any function $f: E \to {\Bbb C}$ can be written as a linear combination of characters orthogonal with respect to $E$. We shall refer to such sets as spectral. In this context,…

In 1999, K. Bezdek posed a conjecture stating that among all convex bodies in $\mathbb R^3$, ellipsoids and bodies of revolution are characterized by the fact that all their planar sections have an axis of reflection. We prove Bezdek's…

We present a new approach to the question of when the commutativity of operator exponentials implies that of the operators. This is proved in the setting of bounded normal operators on a complex Hilbert space. The proofs are based on some…

In this paper we establish an exponential covering theorem implying a conjecture formulated by A. Zygmund circa 1935 whose three-dimensional case was obtained by the first named author in 1978.

We discuss existence and stability of Riesz bases of exponential type of L^2(T) for special domains T called trapezoids. We construct exponential bases on L^2(T) when T is a finite union of rectangles with the same height. We also…

The purpose of this paper is to study the reflections of a convex body. In particular, we are interested in orthogonal reflections of its sections that can be extended to reflections of the whole body. For this reason, we need to study the…
