Abstract

A family of n-dimensional Lee spheres L is a tiling of Rn, if ∪L = Rn and for every Lu, Lv ∈ L, the intersection Lu ∩ Lv is contained in the boundary of Lu. If neighboring Lee spheres meet along entire (n-1)-dimensional faces, then L is called a face-to-face tiling. We prove the nonexistence of a face-to-face tiling of R4 with Lee spheres of different radii.
