Spaces of Piecewise Linear Manifolds
In this thesis we introduce a ∆-set Ψ d (R )• which we regard as the piecewise linear analogue of the space Ψd(R ) of smooth d-dimensional submanifolds in R introduced by Galatius in [4]. Using Ψ d (R )• we define a bi-∆-set Cd(R )•,• whose geometric realization BC d (R ) = ∥∥Cd(RN )•,•∥∥ should be interpreted as the PL version of the classifying space of the category of smooth d-dimensional co...

متن کاملSectional Curvature in Piecewise Linear Manifolds
A metric complex M is a connected, locally-finite simplicial complex linearly embedded in some Euclidean space R. Metric complexes M and M' are isometric if they have subdivisions L and L and if there is a simplicial isomorphism h:L -• L such that for every a e L, the linear map determined by h\a -• h(a) is an isometry (that is, it extends to an isometry of the affine spaces generated by these ...
متن کاملInvariants of Piecewise - Linear 3 - Manifolds
The purpose of this paper is to present an algebraic framework for constructing invariants of closed oriented 3-manifolds. The construction is in the spirit of topological field theory and the invariant is calculated from a triangulation of the 3-manifold. The data for the construction of the invariant is a tensor category with a condition on the duals, which we have called a spherical category...
متن کاملMedial Residues of Piecewise Linear Manifolds
Skeleton structures of objects are used in a wide variety of applications such as shape analysis and path planning. One of the most widely used skeletons is the medial axis, which is a thin structure centered within and homotopy equivalent to the object. However, on piecewise linear surfaces, which are one of the most common outputs from surface reconstruction algorithms, natural generalization...
