Zipper Unfoldings of Polyhedral Complexes

We explore which polyhedra and polyhedral complexes can be formed by folding up a planar polygonal region and fastening it with one zipper. We call the reverse process a zipper unfolding. A zipper unfolding of a polyhedron is a path cut that unfolds the polyhedron to a planar polygon; in the case of...
