Generalized D-Forms Have No Spurious Creases

A convex surface that is flat everywhere but on finitely many smooth curves (or seams) and points is a seam form. We show that the only creases through the flat components of a seam form are either between vertices or tangent to the seams. As corollaries we resolve open problems about certain spe...
