arXiv:2610.37975v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We prove that every spectral union of four bounded intervals tiles the real line by translations. The argument combines periodicity of spectra, cofactor identities for the secular determinant, and a common tiling complement for the finite spectral fibers. We also establish a rigidity theorem for six complex numbers with prescribed vanishing power sums.
