Abstract: We study the topological properties of a class of planar crystallographic replication tiles. Let MinmathbbZ2imes2 be an expanding matrix with characteristic polynomial x2+Ax+B (A,BinmathbbZ, Bgeq2) and such that are linearly independent. Then the equation MT+frac{B-1}{2}{�f v} =Tcup(T+{�f v})cup (T+2{�f v})cup cdotscup(T+(B-2){�f v})cup(-T) defines a unique nonempty compact set T satisfying overlineTo=T. Moreover, T tiles the plane by the crystallographic group p2 generated by the pi-rotation and the translations by integer vectors. It was proved by Leung and Lau in the context of self-affine lattice tiles with collinear digit set that Tcup(T) is homeomorphic to a closed disk if and only if 2|A|<B+3. However, this characterization does not hold anymore for T itself. In this paper, we completely characterize the tiles T of this class that are homeomorphic to a closed disk.
