Abstract

The continuous deformation of any spherical isometric folding into the standard spherical folding, defined by remains an open problem since 1989. We show that this conjecture is restricted to the class of primitive foldings and it is exhibited a spherical folding within this class, where the difficulty of deformation is evidenced.
