TLDR
A set C in the Euclidean space is called isometrically m-divisible if there exists a disjoint decomposition of C into m subsets Ci pairwise congruent with respect to the group of isometries as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
A set C in the Euclidean space \({\mathbb{R}}^d\) is called isometrically m-divisible if there exists a disjoint decomposition of C into m subsets Ci pairwise congruent with respect to the group of Euclidean isometries. We present a necessary condition for the isometric m-divisibility, which shows in particular that most convex bodies – in the sense of Baire category – are not isometrically m-divisible for any choice of m\(m \in \{2, 3, \ldots, \aleph_0 \}\).read more

Decomposition of balls into congruent pieces
Gergely Kiss,Miklós Laczkovich +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the d-dimensional balls are m -divisible for every m large enough, and that the 3-dimensional ball is m-divisible with respect to every m ≥ 22.

On covering a ball by congruent subsets in normed spaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the cover of a ball in certain normed spaces by its congruent subsets and show that if the finite number of sets is not greater than the dimensionality of the space, then the centre of the ball either belongs to the interior of each set, or doesn't belong to any set.

Tiling a Circular Disc with Congruent Pieces
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that any monohedral tiling of the closed circular unit disc with topological tiles as tiles has a k-fold rotational symmetry, which yields the first nontrivial estimate about the minimum number of tiles in a polygonal tiling in which not all tiles contain the center.

TL;DR: A survey of results on partitioning some common sets into m congruent pieces can be found in this article, where it is shown that a ball in R n cannot be partitioned if 2 ≤ m ≤ n.

Partitioning an Interval Into Finitely Many Congruent Parts
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if a non-pivotal interval can be partitioned into n parts, then it can also be divided into n sub-intervals, which are disjoint and congruent by pairs.
