Summary

Keller's Conjecture states that in any tiling of n-dimensional cubes there will be two cubes sharing a complete (n-1)-dimensional face. The Conjecture has been proven when tex2html_wrap_inline46 and disproved when tex2html_wrap_inline48 , leaving the status of dimensions 7, 8, and 9 unknown. The Keller Conjecture can be described in terms of the existence of large cliques in certain graphs. A search of these graphs for the cliques could prove the conjecture one way or the other. This search is known to take a long time to perform, but a new algorithms exists that may be able to do the search quickly.
