Triangulations of Manifolds

چکیده
In topology, a basic building block for spaces is the n-simplex. A 0-simplex is a point, a 1-simplex is a closed interval, a 2-simplex is a triangle, and a 3-simplex is a tetrahedron. In general, an n-simplex is the convex hull of n + 1 vertices in n-dimensional space. One constructs more complicated spaces by gluing together several simplices along their faces, and a space constructed in this fashion is called a simplicial complex. For example, the surface of a cube can be built out of twelve triangles—two for each face, as in the following picture:

Tight and stacked triangulations of manifolds
Tight triangulated manifolds are generalisations of neighborly triangulations of closed surfaces and are interesting objects in Combinatorial Topology. Tight triangulated manifolds are conjectured to be minimal. Except few, all the known tight triangulated manifolds are stacked. It is known that locally stacked tight triangulated manifolds are strongly minimal. Except for three infinite series ...
متن کاملMinimal TriangulationsofManifolds
| Finding vertex-minimal triangulations of closed manifolds is a very difficult problem. Except for spheres and two series of manifolds, vertex-minimal triangulations are known for only few manifolds of dimension more than 2 (see the table given at the end of Section 5). In this article, we present a brief survey on the works done in last 30 years on the following: (i) Finding the minimal numbe...

This paper uses results on the classification of minimal triangulations of 3-manifolds to produce additional results, using covering spaces. Using previous work on minimal triangulations of lens spaces, it is shown that the lens space L(4k,2k − 1) and the generalised quaternionic space S/Q4k have complexity k, where k ≥ 2. Moreover, it is shown that their minimal triangulations are unique. AMS ...

متن کاملLayered - Triangulations of 3 – Manifolds
A family of one-vertex triangulations of the genus-g-handlebody, called layered-triangulations, is defined. These triangulations induce a one-vertex triangulation on the boundary of the handlebody, a genus g surface. Conversely, any one-vertex triangulation of a genus g surface can be placed on the boundary of the genus-g-handlebody in infinitely many distinct ways; it is shown that any of thes...
متن کاملAn infinite family of tight triangulations of manifolds
We give explicit construction of vertex-transitive tight triangulations of d-manifolds for d ≥ 2. More explicitly, for each d ≥ 2, we construct two (d + 5d + 5)-vertex neighborly triangulated d-manifolds whose vertex-links are stacked spheres. The only other non-trivial series of such tight triangulated manifolds currently known is the series of non-simply connected triangulated d-manifolds wit...
