The spherical triangles which tile the sphere in an edge-to-edge fashion have been known for some time. However, if we relax the requirement that the triangles must meet edge-to-edge, other tilings are possible. This paper begins the classification of these tilings by characterizing all isosceles triangles that tile the sphere. One infinite family and three sporadic tiles that tile only edge-to-edge are exhibited.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
