Abstract
We consider the self-affine tiles with collinear digit set defined as follows. Let satisfy and be an integral matrix with characteristic polynomial . Moreover, let for some such that are linearly independent. We are interested in the topological properties of the self-affine tile defined by . Lau and Leung proved that is homeomorphic to a closed disk if and only if . In particular, has no cut point. We prove here that has a cut point if and only if . For , the interior of is disconnected and the closure of each connected component of the interior of is homeomorphic to a closed disk.
