The Fuglede conjecture holds in $\mathbb{Z}_p\times \mathbb{Z}_p$

Alex Iosevich, Azita Mayeli and Jonathan Pakianathan

Vol. 10 (2017), No. 4, 757–764
Abstract

In this paper we study subsets E of pd such that any function f : E 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, we prove the Fuglede conjecture in p2, which says in this context that E p2 is spectral if and only if E tiles p2 by translation. Arithmetic properties of the finite field Fourier transform, elementary Galois theory and combinatorial geometric properties of direction sets play the key role in the proof. The proof relies to a significant extent on the analysis of direction sets of Iosevich et al. (Integers 11 (2011), art. id. A39) and the tiling results of Haessig et al. (2011).
