Robins' conjecture on Fourier transforms of convex centrally symmetric bodies
Robins' conjecture on Fourier transforms of convex centrally symmetric bodies
Let be convex, centrally symmetric bodies. Suppose that and are not multi-tilers, meaning that neither set -tiles with a translation set for any positive integer . Their Fourier transforms are defined by
and similarly for , where and are the characteristic functions.
Robins' conjecture. If
for every , then and coincide up to rigid motions, except on a set of measure zero; equivalently, the two conditions hold if and only if the bodies coincide up to such motions.
The conjecture concerns whether lattice samples of the Fourier transform determine a non-multi-tiling convex centrally symmetric body up to rigid motion. The paper states that it constructs a counterexample, so the conjecture is refuted in the dimension covered by that construction; the supplied excerpt does not specify the dimension or the precise counterexample.
