Arithmetic geometry is a vibrant field at the intersection of number theory and algebraic geometry, focussing on the study of polynomial equations and the distribution of their rational solutions.
Since the conjecture was already known to be true in one and two dimensions, they sought to prove it in three: to show that if you can shift copies of one shape to tile all of three-dimensional space, ...

They made some progress, re-proving the conjecture in two dimensions using different techniques—ones they hoped would be applicable to the three-dimensional case. But then they hit a wall. “At some ...
