Which Coronas Are Simple?
This article (from the ``Unsolved problems section) asks when the \textit{corona} of a tile (in a tiling), i.e., the union of all tiles meeting this tile, is a topological disk. For isohedral tilings of the plane, the corona is always simply connected. However, two examples show that, in 3-space, there are (a)~isohedral tilings by non-convex prototiles, and (b)~monohedral tilings by convex prototiles such that their corona is not simply connected. The main conjecture of the paper -- that for isohedral tilings with a convex prototile the corona always is simply connected -- is false. Wlodek Kuperberg found a counterexample (a parallelepiped) (September 1998, at a conference in Bydgoszcz, Poland, where this was presented as a problem). Several related (more special) questions, however, remain open.
