چکیده
We introduce the class Σk(d) of k-stellated (combinatorial) spheres of dimension d (0 ≤ k ≤ d+1) and compare and contrast it with the class Sk(d) (0 ≤ k ≤ d) of k-stacked homology d-spheres. We have Σ1(d) = S1(d), and Σk(d) ⊆ Sk(d) for d ≥ 2k− 1. However, for each k ≥ 2 there are k-stacked spheres which are not k-stellated. For d ≤ 2k− 2, the existence of k-stellated spheres which are not k-stacked remains an open question. We also consider the class Wk(d) (and Kk(d)) of simplicial complexes all whose vertex-links belong to Σk(d−1) (respectively, Sk(d−1)). Thus, Wk(d) ⊆ Kk(d) for d ≥ 2k, while W1(d) = K1(d). Let Kk(d) denote the class of d-dimensional complexes all whose vertex-links are k-stacked balls. We show that for d ≥ 2k+2, there is a natural bijection M 7→ M from Kk(d) onto Kk(d+1) which is the inverse to the boundary map ∂ : Kk(d+ 1) → Kk(d). Finally, we complement the tightness results of our recent paper [5] by showing that, for any field F, an F-orientable (k+1)-neighborly member of Wk(2k+1) is F-tight if and only if it is k-stacked.

On stellated spheres, shellable balls, lower bounds and a combinatorial criterion for tightness
We introduce the k-stellated (combinatorial) spheres and compare and contrast them with kstacked (triangulated) spheres. It is shown that for d ≥ 2k, any k-stellated sphere of dimension d bounds a unique and canonically defined k-stacked ball. In parallel, any k-stacked polytopal sphere of dimension d ≥ 2k bounds a unique and canonically defined k-stacked (polytopal) ball, which answers a quest...
متن کاملOn stellated spheres and a tightness criterion for combinatorial manifolds
We introduce the k-stellated spheres and consider the class Wk(d) of triangulated d-manifolds all whose vertex links are k-stellated, and its subclass W∗ k (d) consisting of the (k + 1)-neighbourly members of Wk(d). We introduce the mu-vector of any simplicial complex and show that, in the case of 2-neighbourly simplicial complexes, the mu-vector dominates the vector of its Betti numbers compon...
متن کاملImproved drain current characteristics of tunnel field effect transistor with heterodielectric stacked structure
In this paper, we proposed a 2-D analytical model for electrical characteristics such as surface potential, electric field and drain current of Silicon-on-Insulator Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (SOI TFETs) with a SiO2/High-k stacked gate-oxide structure. By using superposition principle with suitable boundary conditions, the Poisson’s equation has been solved to model the channel r...
متن کاملOn Polytopal Upper Bound Spheres
Generalizing a result (the case k = 1) due to M. A. Perles, we show that any polytopal upper bound sphere of odd dimension 2k+1 belongs to the generalizedWalkup class Kk(2k + 1), i.e., all its vertex links are k-stacked spheres. This is surprising since the k-stacked spheres minimize the face-vector (among all polytopal spheres with given f0, . . . , fk−1) while the upper bound spheres maximize...
متن کاملOn Walkup’s class K(d) and a minimal triangulation of a 4-manifold
For d ≥ 2, Walkup’s class K(d) consists of the d-dimensional simplicial complexes all whose vertex-links are stacked (d − 1)-spheres. Kalai showed that for d ≥ 4, all connected members of K(d) are obtained from stacked d-spheres by finitely many elementary handle additions. According to a result of Walkup, the face-vector of any triangulated 4-manifold X with Euler characteristic χ satisfies f1...
