Abstract
We show that for every convex polyhedral sphere in , there exist two canonical, non-edge-to-edge tilings of whose tiles are given by all the faces of and the dual convex polyhedral sphere to . Under the identifications of with the Lie group , and of with the unit sphere in the Lie algebra of , our result is obtained by considering the set of outward unit normal vectors to and the maps from to defined by using the left and right Maurer-Cartan forms on .
