The periodic tiling conjecture for translational tiles

Let ΩRd\Omega\subset\mathbb R^d be a set of finite, positive measure. A translational tiling of Rd\mathbb R^d is a collection of translates of Ω\Omega covering almost every point exactly once; it is periodic when its translation set is invariant under a full-rank lattice. The periodic tiling conjecture. If Ω\Omega tiles Rd\mathbb R^d by translations, then it admits at least one periodic tiling. The conjecture is a central question in translational tiling theory, but the source notes that it was disproved in high dimensions; the connected-set case was the motivation for the paper's theorem.
