Multiple Lattice Tilings in Euclidean Spaces
Keyword(s):
AbstractIn 1885, Fedorov discovered that a convex domain can form a lattice tiling of the Euclidean plane if and only if it is a parallelogram or a centrally symmetric hexagon. This paper proves the following results. Except for parallelograms and centrally symmetric hexagons, there are no other convex domains that can form two-, three- or four-fold lattice tilings in the Euclidean plane. However, there are both octagons and decagons that can form five-fold lattice tilings. Whenever $n\geqslant 3$, there are non-parallelohedral polytopes that can form five-fold lattice tilings in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space.
