Tiling with arbitrary tiles

• Published in 2015

Let $T$ be a tile in $\mathbb{Z}^n$, meaning a finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}^n$. It may or may not tile $\mathbb{Z}^n$, in the sense of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ having a partition into copies of $T$. However, we prove that $T$ does tile $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for some $d$. This resolves a conjecture of Chalcraft.
