Periodic tiling conjecture for translational monotile tilings

Let TT be a tile in Zn\mathbb{Z}^n. A tiling by translated copies of TT is periodic if it is invariant under a nonzero translation of Zn\mathbb{Z}^n. Periodic tiling conjecture. If TT tiles Zn\mathbb{Z}^n with translated copies, then it can tile Zn\mathbb{Z}^n periodically with translated copies. This conjecture would imply decidability of translational tiling by a single tile in each fixed dimension. It was disproved by Greenfeld and Tao, who constructed a tile admitting a translational tiling but no periodic translational tiling.
