Abstract: We develop a theory of planar, origin-symmetric, convex domains that are inextensible with respect to lattice covering, that is, domains such that augmenting them in any way allows fewer domains to cover the same area. We show that origin-symmetric inextensible domains are exactly the origin-symmetric convex domains with a circle of outer billiard triangles. We address a conjecture by Genin and Tabachnikov about convex domains, not necessarily symmetric, with a circle of outer billiard triangles, and show that it follows immediately from a result of Sas.
