Filling space with hypercubes of two sizes – The pythagorean tiling in higher dimensions

Publication date 20 September 2023

Abstract: We construct a unilateral lattice tiling of

m a t h b b R^{n}

into hypercubes of two differnet side lengths

p

or

q

. This generalizes the Pythagorean tiling in

m a t h b b R^{2}

. We also show that this tiling is unique up to symmetries, which proves a variation of a conjecture by B"olcskei from 2001. For positive integers

p

and

q

this tiling also provides a tiling of

(m a t h b b Z / (p^{n} + q^{n}) m a t h b b Z)^{n}

.
