Classification of generic spherical quadrilaterals
Abstract
Generic spherical quadrilaterals are classified up to isometry. Condition of genericity consists in the requirement that the images of the sides under the developing map belong to four distinct circles which have no triple intersections. Under this condition, it is shown that the space of quadrilaterals with prescribed angles consists of finitely many open curves. Degeneration at the endpoints of these curves is also determined.
