Voronoi conjecture for five-dimensional parallelohedra

Combinatorics 2025-02-11 v6

Abstract

We prove the Voronoi conjecture for five-dimensional parallelohedra. Namely, we show that if a convex five-dimensional polytope PP tiles R5\mathbb R^5 with translations, then PP is an affine image of the Dirichlet-Voronoi polytope for a five-dimensional lattice. Our proof is based on an exhaustive combinatorial analysis of possible dual 3-cells and incident dual 4-cells encoding local structures around two-dimensional faces of five-dimensional parallelohedron PP and their edges aiming to prove existence of a free direction for PP paired with new properties established for parallelohedra (in any dimension) that have a free direction that guarantee the Voronoi conjecture for PP.
