Tilings of the Sphere with Right Triangles I: The Asymptotically Right Families
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sommerville [10] and Davies [2] classified the spherical triangles that can tile the sphere in an edge-to-edge fashion. Relaxing this condition yields other triangles, which tile the sphere but have some tiles intersecting in partial edges. This paper determines which right spherical triangles within certain families can tile the sphere.

Tilings of the sphere with right triangles III: the asymptotically obtuse families
Sommerville and Davies classified the spherical triangles that can tile the sphere in an edge-to-edge fashion. However, if the edge-to-edge restriction is relaxed, there are other such triangles; here, we continue the classification of right triangles with this property begun in our earlier papers. We consider six families of triangles classified as “asymptotically obtuse”, and show that they c...
متن کاملTilings of the Sphere with Right Triangles II: The (1, 3, 2), (0, 2, n) Subfamily
Sommerville [8] and Davies [2] classified the spherical triangles that can tile the sphere in an edge-to-edge fashion. Relaxing this condition yields other triangles, which tile the sphere but have some tiles intersecting in partial edges. This paper shows that no right triangles in a certain subfamily can tile the sphere, although multilayered tilings are possible.
متن کاملRight Triangular Spherical Dihedral f–Tilings with Two Pairs of Congruent Sides
By a dihedral folding tiling (f-tiling, for short) of the sphere S whose prototiles are spherical right triangles, T1 and T2, we mean a polygonal subdivision τ of S such that each cell (tile) of τ is congruent to T1 or T2 and the vertices of τ satisfy the angle-folding relation, i.e., each vertex of τ is of even valency and the sums of alternating angles around each vertex are π. In fact, the c...
متن کاملSome New Tilings of the Sphere with Congruent Triangles
Many years ago, Sommerville classified the tilings of the sphere with congruent spherical triangles – under some assumptions. Later, Davies did the same, under only the restriction that the triangles should meet edge-to-edge. This paper surveys a recently-discovered class of tilings with congruent spherical triangle tiles that do not meet edgeto-edge. Introduction. Any simple polyhedron can be ...
متن کاملTriangle Tiling I: the tile is similar to ABC or has a right angle
An N-tiling of triangle ABC by triangle T is a way of writing ABC as a union of N triangles congruent to T , overlapping only at their boundaries. The triangle T is the “tile”. The tile may or may not be similar to ABC. This paper is the first of four papers, which together seek a complete characterization of the triples (ABC,N, T ) such that ABC can be N-tiled by T . In this paper, we consider...
