We prove that no smooth symmetric convex body Omega with at least one point
of non-vanishing Gaussian curvature can admit an orthogonal basis of expon
entials. (The nonsymmetric case was proven in a preprint by M. Kolountzakis
). This is further evidence of Fuglede's conjecture, which states that such
a basis is possible if and only if Omega can tile R-d by translations.
