On the theory of mainstay parallelohedra. (English. Russian original) Zbl 1104.51012

Izv. Math. 69, No. 6, 1257-1277 (2005); translation from Izv. Ross. Akad. Nauk, Ser. Mat. 69, No. 6, 187-210 (2005).
Summary: In [S. S. Ryshkov, “The structure of primitive parallelohedra and Voronoi’s last problem”, Usp. Mat. Nauk 53, No. 2. 161–162 (1998), Russ. Math. Surv. 53, No. 2, 403–405 (1998; Zbl 0927.51028)] the first author announced a theorem stating that every primitive \(n\)-dimensional parallelohedron can be represented, up to an affine transformation, as a weighted Minkowski sum of parallelohedra belonging to a certain finite set of \(n'\)-dimensional \((n'\leq n)\) mainstay parallelohedra situated in a special way. This paper contains a detailed proof of this theorem in a refined and definitive form.
