Tiling space and slabs with acute tetrahedra

Abstract

We show it is possible to tile three-dimensional space using only tetrahedra with acute dihedral angles. We present several constructions to achieve this, including one in which all dihedral angles are less than 77.0877.08^\circ, and another which tiles a slab in space.
