Lattice polytopes in convex geometry (including relations with commutative algebra and algebraic geometry) (52B20) Dissections and valuations (Hilbert's third problem, etc.) (52B45) Lattices and convex bodies in (n) dimensions (aspects of discrete geometry) (52C07) Tilings in (n) dimensions (aspects of discrete geometry) (52C22)

Abstract: Brandolini et al. conjectured that all concrete lattice polytopes can multitile the space. We disprove this conjecture in a strong form, by constructing an infinite family of counterexamples in $mathbb{R}^3$.
