Does there exist expression?

Post by Riemann »

For which positive integers $n$ does there exist expression

$$\mathbb{R}^2 = \bigcup_{m=1}^{\infty} A_m$$

where each $A_m$ is a disk of radius $1$ such that each point $x \in \mathbb{R}^2$ belongs to either the boundary of some $A_m$ or to precisely $n$ interiors of the sets $A_1$ , $A_2$ , $\dots$ ?
$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s}= \prod_{p \; \text{prime}}\frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}$
