Infinite faces of a perfect Voronoi polyhedron (Q869803)

Infinite faces of perfect Voronoi polyhedra are studied. The result substantially varies depending on whether the perfect Voronoi polyhedron is considered as the closed or nonclosed convex hull of the set of Voronoi points. First main theorem says: For each infinite face of the nonclosed perfect Voronoi polyhedron \(\Pi^-(n)\), there exists \(q\leqslant n\) such that this face is the affine image of the nonclosed Voronoi polyhedron \(\Pi^-(q)\). The second main result is: For each infinite face \(G\) of a closed perfect Voronoi polyhedron \(\Pi^+(n)\), there exist numbers \(r\leqslant q\leqslant n\) such that the face \(G\) is the affine image of the vector sum of the cone \(\overline{\mathbb K}(q)\) and a closed perfect Voronoi polyhedron \(\Pi^+(r)\) contained in it. Here \(\overline{\mathbb K}(n)=\partial {\mathbb K}(n)\cup {\mathbb K}(n)\) and \({\mathbb K}(n)\) is the cone of positivity of rank~\(n\).
