The periodic tiling conjecture for regions

A periodic set ΓRn\Gamma\subset\mathbb{R}^n is one of the form

Γ=L+RZn,\Gamma=L+R\mathbb{Z}^n,

where RR is an invertible matrix and LRnL\subset\mathbb{R}^n is finite. A region is a closed subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^n equal to the closure of its interior, with finite positive Lebesgue measure and boundary of measure zero. A region tiles by translations if its translates partition Rn\mathbb{R}^n up to measure zero.

Periodic tiling conjecture. If a region ΩRn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n tiles Rn\mathbb{R}^n by translations, then it has a periodic tiling.

The conjecture asserts that translational tilings of sufficiently regular finite-measure regions always admit periodic translation sets. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
