Title: Translational tilings of the plane.

Abstract: A set $A\subset {\mathbb R}^2$ is said to be a translational
tile if ${\mathbb R}^2$ can be expressed as a disjoint union of
translated copies of $A$. In this talk we will discuss the connection
between such tiles and measure preserving dynamical systems. We will show
that if the underlying set $A$ satisfies a certain regularity condition
then the question whether $A$ tiles the plane is decidable.
