Tilings of the sphere with right triangles I: The asymptotically right families
- ELECTRON J. COMBIN
, 2006
"... 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 withi ..."

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.
Spherical F-Tilings by Triangles and r-Sided Regular Polygons, r ≥ 5
, 2008
"... The study of dihedral f-tilings of the sphere S² by spherical triangles and equiangular spherical quadrangles (which includes the case of 4-sided regular polygons) was presented in [3]. Also, in [6], the study of dihedral f-tilings of S² whose prototiles are an equilateral triangle (a 3-sided regula ..."

The study of dihedral f-tilings of the sphere S² by spherical triangles and equiangular spherical quadrangles (which includes the case of 4-sided regular polygons) was presented in [3]. Also, in [6], the study of dihedral f-tilings of S² whose prototiles are an equilateral triangle (a 3-sided regular polygon) and an isosceles triangle was described (we believe that the analysis considering scalene triangles as the prototiles will lead to a wide family of f-tilings). In this paper we extend these results, presenting the study of dihedral f-tilings by spherical triangles and r-sided regular polygons, for any r ≥ 5. The combinatorial structure, including the symmetry group of each tiling, is given in Table 1.

Combinatorial tilings of the sphere by pentagons

"... Abstract A combinatorial tiling of the sphere is naturally given by an embedded graph. We study the case that each tile has exactly five edges, with the ultimate goal of classifying combinatorial tilings of the sphere by geometrically congruent pentagons.

Abstract A combinatorial tiling of the sphere is naturally given by an embedded graph. We study the case that each tile has exactly five edges, with the ultimate goal of classifying combinatorial tilings of the sphere by geometrically congruent pentagons. We show that the tiling cannot have only one vertex of degree > 3. Moreover, we construct earth map tilings, which give classifications under the condition that vertices of degree > 3 are at least of distance 4 apart, or under the condition that there are exactly two vertices of degree > 3.
