Abstract

Gardner conjectured that if two bounded measurable sets A,BRnA,B \subset \mathbb{R}^n are equidecomposable by a set of isometries Γ\Gamma generating an amenable group then AA and BB admit a measurable equidecomposition by all isometries. Cie\'sla and Sabok asked if there is a measurable equidecomposition using isometries only in the group generated by Γ\Gamma. We answer this question negatively.
