Abstract

For a (non-unit) Pisot number β\beta, several collections of tiles are associated with β\beta-numeration. This includes an aperiodic and a periodic one made of Rauzy fractals, a periodic one induced by the natural extension of the β\beta-transformation and a Euclidean one made of integral beta-tiles. We show that all these collections (except possibly the periodic translation of the central tile) are tilings if one of them is a tiling or, equivalently, the weak finiteness property (W) holds. We also obtain new results on rational numbers with purely periodic β\beta-expansions; in particular, we calculate γ(β)\gamma(\beta) for all quadratic β\beta with β2=aβ+b\beta^2 = a \beta + b, gcd(a,b)=1\gcd(a,b) = 1.
