Dihedral f-tilings of the sphere by spherical triangles and equiangular well-centered quadranglesAna M. d'Azevedo Breda and Altino F. SantosDepartment of Mathematics, University of Aveiro, 3810 - 193 Aveiro, Portugal, e-mail: ambreda@mat.ua.pt; Department of Mathematics, U.T.A.D., 5001 - 911 Vila Real, Portugal, e-mail: afolgado@utad.ptAbstract: The classification of f-tilings was inspired in Stewart Robertson's work [R], ``Isometric Foldings of Riemannian Manifolds'' and was initiated by Ana Breda [B], where a complete classification of all monohedral f-tilings of the Riemannian sphere $S^{2}$ was done. Here we shall classify, up to a spherical isometry, the class of all dihedral f-tilings of $S^{2}$ whose prototiles are spherical triangles and well centered spherical quadrangles with all congruent internal angles. Table 1 and Figure 19 give a summary of the families involved in this classification. [R] Robertson, Stewart: Isometric Folding of Riemannian Manifolds. Proc. Royal Soc.
