Tiling by lattices for locally compact abelian groups

Abstract

For a locally compact abelian group $G$ a simple proof is given for the known fact that a bounded domain $\Omega$ tiles $G$ with translations by a lattice $\Lambda$ if and only if the set of characters of $G$ indexed by the dual lattice of $\Lambda$ is an orthogonal basis of $L^2(\Omega).$ The proof uses simple techniques from Harmonic Analysis.
