Abstract

We prove the Voronoi conjecture for five-dimensional parallelohedra. Namely, we show that if a convex five-dimensional polytope P tiles ℝ5 with translations, then P 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 P and their edges aiming to prove existence of a free direction for P paired with new properties established for parallelohedra (in any dimension) that have a free direction that guarantee the Voronoi conjecture for P.
