The following lower estimate of Coxeter, Few and Rogers [233] shows that Theorem 31.4 cannot be improved much, if at all: Rogers’s Upper Bound for ϑL(C) ϑT (B d ) > ∼ d e √ e � as d →∞. A more refined proof led Rogers [850] to a corresponding result for lattice coverings which is stated without proof: Theorem 31.5. Let C be a proper convex body in E d , where d ≥ 3. Then ϑL(C) ≤ d log2d (1+o(1)) as d →∞. 31.4 Lattice Covering Versus Covering with Translates In Sect. 30.4 we encountered the phenomenon that certain general extremal configurations are not better than corresponding extremal lattice configurations. In addition, general extremal configurations may have lattice characteristics. A planar example of this, dealing with packing of convex discs was presented and a case where general extremal configurations exhibit regular hexagonality mentioned. Thinnest lattice coverings in E 2 with o-symmetric convex discs have minimum density among all coverings by translates as shown by Kershner. A stability result of Gruber [436] says that thinnest coverings of E 2 by circular discs are arranged asymptotically in the form of a regular hexagonal pattern. For more information compare the survey [438]. A Result of Fejes Tóth and Bambah and Rogers Without proof, we state the following result of Fejes Tóth [328] and Bambah and Rogers [59]. The special case for circular discs is due to Kershner [578]. For an alternative proof of Kershner’s result, see Sect. 33.4. It is an open problem, whether the symmetry assumption can be omitted.
32 Tiling with Convex Polytopes 463 Theorem 31.6. Let C be a proper o-symmetric convex disc in E 2 . Then ϑT (C) = ϑL(C). Remark. It has been conjectured that the equality in this theorem holds for all convex discs. A corresponding result in E 2 for coverings with congruent copies of a centrally symmetric convex disc has been conjectured but, so far, this was proved only under additional restrictions, see Fejes Tóth [323]. For a typical convex (not necessarily centrally symmetric) disc C the thinnest covering with congruent copies has density smaller than θL(C), as shown by Fejes Tóth and Zamfirescu [326]. A Conjecture of Zassenhaus on Thinnest Coverings in E d Considering the packing case in Sect. 30.4, it is clear what is meant by a periodic covering with a convex body C. Zassenhaus [1042] stated a conjecture for coverings analogous to his Conjecture 30.1 on packings as follows: Conjecture 31.1. Let C be a proper convex body in E d . Then ϑT (C) is attained by a suitable periodic covering of C. 32 Tiling with Convex Polytopes Tiling problems date back to antiquity, see the historical remarks on honeycombs by Hales [472]. We mention also Kepler, MacLaurin and Kelvin. In his vortex theory of planetary motion, Descartes [262] used figures which are almost Dirichlet–Voronoĭ tilings, compare Gaukroger [362]. I owe this information to Rolf Klein [598]. Problems on quadratic forms led Dirichlet [272] and later Voronoĭ [1014] and Delone [255], his disciple Ryshkov and their school to study lattice and non-lattice tiling, while Fedorov’s [319] research on tiling was the outgrowth of his seminal work in crystallography. Hilbert’s [501] 18th problem made tiling problems more popular. Since then there has been a continuous stream of tiling results. In this section we first present Dirichlet–Voronoĭ and Delone tilings. Then the basic theorem of Venkov–McMullen will be given. Finally, we discuss a conjecture of Voronoĭ and Hilbert’s 18th problem. For detailed information on tiling the reader is referred to the surveys and books of Heesch and Kienzle [486], Rogers [851], Fejes Tóth [327], Delone and Ryshkov [259], Grünbaum and Shephard [454], Engel [296, 297], Gruber and Lekkerkerker [447], Erdös, Gruber and Hammer [307], Schulte [918], Senechal [925], Johnson [550], Schattschneider and Senechal [883] and Engel, Michel and Senechal [301]. 32.1 Dirichlet–Voronoĭ and Delone Tilings and Polyhedral Complexes Among the most important examples of tilings in E d are the Dirichlet–Voronoĭ tilings and the Delone triangulations. The former are important for quadratic forms and in computational geometry, discrete geometry and convexity, and are of use in
