Abstract: |
Edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent a2bc-quadrilaterals are classified
as 3 classes: (1) A 1-parameter family of quadrilateral subdivisions of the octahedron with
24 tiles, and a flip modification for one special parameter; (2) a 2-parameter family of 2-
layer earth map tilings with 2n tiles for each n ≥ 3; (3) a 3-layer earth map tiling with 8n
tiles for each n ≥ 2, and two flip modifications for each odd n. The authors also describe
the moduli of parameterized tilings and provide the full geometric data for all tilings. |
