The existence on non-tiles and non-facets in three dimensions (Q760012): Difference between revisions

Non-tiles are convex polytopes, of which isomorphic copies will not tile the space locally finite and face-to-face (that is, neighbouring tiles meet in a face of each). Non-facets are convex polytopes, of which isomorphic copies will not fit together as the facets of a higher dimensional convex polytope. It is proved that there are infinitely many 3-dimensional convex polytopes which are non-tiles as well as non-facets, thereby answering a question of Danzer.
