Abstract: It is well known that in an exact covering system in $mathbbZ$, the biggest modulus must be repeated. Very recently, Kim gave an analogous result for certain quadratic fields, and Kim also conjectured that it must hold in any algebraic number field. In this paper, we prove Kim's conjecture. In other words, we prove that exact covering systems in any algebraic number field must have repeated moduli.

Review text

It has been conjectured by \textit{S. Kim} [Q. J. Math. 63, No. 1, 165--180 (2012; Zbl 1307.11111)] that in rings of integers of algebraic number fields there is no exact covering system of congruences having distinct moduli. He proved his conjecture for certain families of quadratic fields. The authors establish now this conjecture. The proof is based on the geometrical approach utilized by \textit{M. A. Berger} et al. [Combinatorica 6, 235--243 (1986; Zbl 0608.10006)] in the rational case.
