On the Steinhaus tiling problem in three dimensions

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

H. Steinhaus asked in the 1950's whether there exists a set in the plane R^2 meeting every isometric copy of Z^2 in precisely one point. Such a "Steinhaus set" was constructed by Jackson and Mauldin. What about three-space R^3? Is there a subset of R^3 meeting every isometric copy of Z^3 in exactly one point? We offer heuristic evidence that the answer is "no".
