Characterization of polytopes via tilings with similar pieces

Metric Geometry 2011-05-17 v4 Combinatorics

Abstract

Generalizing results by Valette, Zamfirescu and Laczkovich, we will prove that a convex body KK is a polytope if there are sufficiently many tilings which contain a tile similar to KK. Furthermore, we give an example that this can not be improved.
