Elementary Moves on Triangulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is proved that a triangulation of a polyhedron can always be transformed into any other triangulation of the polyhedron using only elementary moves. One consequence is that an additive function (valuation) defined only on simplices may always be extended to an additive function on all polyhedra. 2000 AMS subject classification: 52B45; 52A38; 57Q15;

Triangulations of Surfaces
This paper uses an elementary surgery technique to give a simple topological proof of a theorem of Harer which says that the simplicial complex having as its top-dimensional simplices the isotopy classes of triangulations of a compact surface with a fixed set of vertices is contractible, except in a few special cases when it is homeomorphic to a sphere. (Triangulations here are allowed to have ...
متن کاملSimplification paths in the Pachner graphs of closed orientable 3-manifold triangulations
It is important to have effective methods for simplifying 3-manifold triangulations without losing any topological information. In theory this is difficult: we might need to make a triangulation super-exponentially more complex before we can make it smaller than its original size. Here we present experimental work that suggests the reality is far different: for an exhaustive census of 81 800 39...
متن کامل2 00 8 the Existence of Thick Triangulations – an “ Elementary ” Proof
We provide an alternative, simpler proof of the existence of thick triangulations for noncompact C 1 manifolds. Moreover, this proof is simpler than the original one given in [13], since it mainly uses tools of elementary differential topology. The role played by curvatures in this construction is also emphasized.

متن کاملTriangulations of 3–dimensional pseudomanifolds with an application to state–sum invariants
We demonstrate the triangulability of compact 3–dimensional topological pseudomanifolds and study the properties of such triangulations, including the Hauptvermutung and relations by Alexander star moves and Pachner bistellar moves. We also provide an application to state–sum invariants of 3–dimensional topological pseudomanifolds. AMS Classification 57Q15, 57Q25 ; 57N80 , 57M27
