Abstract

Recent methods developed by, Too [18], Kolountzakis and Matolcsi [7] have led to counterexamples to Fugelde's Spectral Set Conjecture in both directions. Namely, in R(5) Tao produced a spectral set which is not a tile, while Kolountzakis and Matolcsi showed all example of a nonspectral tile. In search of lower dimensional nonspectral tiles we were led to investigate the Universal Spectrum Conjecture (USC) of Lagarias and Wang [14]. In particular, we prove here that the USC and the "tile --> spectral " direction of Fuglede's conjecture are equivalent in any dimensions. Also, we show by an example that the sufficient condition of Lagarias and Szabo [13] for the existence of universal spectra is not necessary. This fact causes considerable difficulties in producing lower dimensional examples of tiles which have no spectra. We overcome these difficulties by invoking some ideas of Revesz and Farkas [2], and obtain nonspectral tiles in R(3).
