Abstract: It is well-known that the functions finL1(mathbbRd) whose translates along a lattice Lambda form a tiling, can be completely characterized in terms of the zero set of their Fourier transform. We construct an example of a discrete set LambdasubsetmathbbR (a small perturbation of the integers) for which no characterization of this kind is possible: there are two functions f,ginL1(mathbbR) whose Fourier transforms have the same set of zeros, but such that f+Lambda is a tiling while g+Lambda is not.


Summary: It is well known that the functions \(f \in L^1 (\mathbb{R}^d)\) whose translates along a lattice \(\Lambda\) form a tiling, can be completely characterized in terms of the zero set of their Fourier transform. We construct an example of a discrete set \({\Lambda} \subset \mathbb{R}\) (a small perturbation of the integers) for which no characterization of this kind is possible: there are two functions \(f, g \in L^1 (\mathbb{R})\) whose Fourier transforms have the same set of zeros, but such that \(f +{\Lambda}\) is a tiling while \(g + {\Lambda}\) is not.
