Tiling with punctured intervals

Abstract: It was shown by Gruslys, Leader and Tan that any finite subset of

m a t h b b Z^{n}

tiles

m a t h b b Z^{d}

for some

d

. The first non-trivial case is the punctured interval, which consists of the interval

- k, l d o t s, k s u b s e t m a t h b b Z

with its middle point removed: they showed that this tiles

m a t h b b Z^{d}

for

d = 2 k^{2}

, and they asked if the dimension needed tends to infinity with

k

. In this note we answer this question: we show that, perhaps surprisingly, every punctured interval tiles

m a t h b b Z^{4}

.
