Self-affine tile digit-set stabilization conjecture

Let RR be an n×nn\times n expanding integer matrix and let 0DZn0\in\mathcal D\subset\mathbb Z^n satisfy #D=det(R)\#\mathcal D=|\det(R)|. Define T(R,D)T(R,\mathcal D) to be the associated self-affine tile, let Dm\mathcal D_m denote the mm-fold digit expansion, and set J0=Zn\mathcal J_0^*=\mathbb Z^n and Jk=RJk1+D\mathcal J_k^*=R\mathcal J_{k-1}^*+\mathcal D for k1k\geq1. Self-affine tile stabilization conjecture. If T(R,D)T(R,\mathcal D) is a self-affine tile, then there exists an integer m1m\geq1 such that

Jm+1=Jm.\mathcal J_{m+1}^*=\mathcal J_m^*.

The paper states that this conjecture is true in the one-dimensional case, while the general higher-dimensional question is the subject of the conjecture.
