Some Plancherel identities for unbounded subsets of $\mathbb R$ in duality

TL;DR
The paper investigates Plancherel-type dualities for unbounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ within Fuglede’s spectral conjecture framework, focusing on one-dimensional tilings by the finite set $\{0,1,\dots,p-1\}$. It proves that such tilings are equivalent to spectrality with a concrete dual measure, namely $\mu= p\,\mathrm{Leb}_{[-\frac{1}{2p},\frac{1}{2p}]+\mathbb{Z}}$, thereby establishing a precise Plancherel identity for these pairs. The proof structure decomposes $\Omega$ as $\Omega_0+p\mathbb{Z}$, constructs finite approximants with explicit spectra, and uses a standard spectral-lemma to pass to the limit, followed by a converse via periodization and disjointness arguments to deduce tiling from spectrality. These results introduce a new class of unbounded spectral sets in $\mathbb{R}$ and extend Fuglede-type dualities to infinite-measure, one-dimensional settings with an explicit dual lattice-like spectrum.
Abstract
In relation to Fuglede's conjecture, we establish several Plancherel-type identities and demonstrate the surjectivity of the Fourier transform between certain unbounded tiling sets of $\mathbb{R}$ that are in duality. In the terminology commonly used in the context of Fuglede's conjecture, our result states that an open set tiles $\mathbb{R}$ by the finite set $\{0,1,\dots,p-1\}$ if and only if it admits a spectrum (or, equivalently, a dual pair measure) given by the Lebesgue measure on $\left[-\tfrac{1}{2p}, \tfrac{1}{2p}\right] + \mathbb{Z}$.
