| dc.description | We infer scaling of the shape and energy of a space-enclosing elastic sheet such as a large fullerene ball of linear dimension R. Stretching deformation is crucial in determining the optimal shape, in conjunction with bending. The asymptotic shape of a symmetrical fullerene ball is a flat-sided polyhedron whose edges have an average curvature radius of order R<sup>2/3</sup>. The predicted asymptotic energy is concentrated in these edges and is of order R<sup>1/3</sup>. Analogous edges with this scaling property should occur generally in elastic sheets with discrete disclinations. |
