Abstract: . Let T be a finite set of tiles. The group of invariants G(T), introduced by the author [P], is a group of linear relations between the number of copies of tiles in tilings of the same region. We survey known results about G , the height function approach, the local move property, various applications and special cases. Introduction The problem of tileability of a region is very old, and in many instances computationally hard, even for small sets of tiles (see e.g. [MR,Ro]). The subject... (Update)
