How many vertices/edges/faces at most for a convex polyhedron that tiles space?

I wonder if this problem has already been examined before: Consider a convex polyhedron that tiles $\mathbb R^3$. What is the maximum of vertices/edges/faces that such a polyhedron can have? ...

Covering radius of a lattice from relevant vectors

Let $L$ be an $n-$dimensional lattice. The Voronoi region of $L$ is given by $$ \mathcal{V}(L)=\big\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n~|~ \|x\|_2\leq \|x-v\|_2~\forall v\in L\setminus\{0\}\big\}. $$ Considering the ...

Covering a simplex efficiently by efficiently describable polytopes?

Take a standard simplex or cube in $\mathbb R^n$. Is there a way to cover it with $O(poly(\log n))$ convex polytopes each describable by only $O(poly(\log n))$ half-plane inequalities? If not what ...

Polytopes that can be efficiently described and efficiently covered by cubes or simplices?

Is there a bounded convex polytope $\mathcal P\subseteq\mathbb R^n$ with $m$ vertices, whose vertex vectors span $\mathbb R^n$ (so $m$ is $\Omega(n)$) and just $O(poly(\log n))$ half-plane ...
