Given any parallelohedron P, its affine class A (P), i.e., the set of all parallelohedra affinely equivalent to it, is considered. Does this affine class contain at least one Voronoi parallelohedron, i.e., a parallelohedron which is a Dirichlet domain for some lattice? This question, more commonly known as Voronoi’s conjecture, has remained unanswered for more than a hundred years. It is shown that, in the case where the subset of Voronoi parallelohedra in A (P) is nonempty, this subset is an orbifold, and its dimension (as a real manifold with singularities) is completely determined by its combinatorial type; namely, it is equal to the number of connected components of the so-called Venkov subgraph of the given parallelohedron. Nevertheless, the structure of this orbifold depends not only on the combinatorial properties of the parallelohedron but also on its affine properties.
