چکیده
In this note we prove that every closed orientable 3-manifold has a triangulation in which each edge has degree 4, 5 or 6.

Constant Scalar Curvature Metrics on Boundary Complexes of Cyclic Polytopes
In this paper we give examples of constant scalar curvature metrics on piecewise-flat triangulated 3-manifolds. These types of metrics are possible candidates for “best” metrics on triangulated 3-manifolds. In the pentachoron, the triangulation formed by the simplicial boundary of the 4-simplex, we find that its stucture is completely deterimed with a vertex transitive metric. Further this metr...
متن کاملTight 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 کاملIsomorphism-free lexicographic enumeration of triangulated surfaces and 3-manifolds
We present a fast enumeration algorithm for combinatorial 2and 3-manifolds. In particular, we enumerate all triangulated surfaces with 11 and 12 vertices and all triangulated 3-manifolds with 11 vertices. We further determine all equivelar maps on the non-orientable surface of genus 4 as well as all equivelar triangulations of the orientable surface of genus 3 and the non-orientable surfaces of...
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...
متن کاملAspherical manifolds that cannot be triangulated
Although Kirby and Siebenmann [13] showed that there are manifolds which do not admit PL structures, the possibility remained that all manifolds could be triangulated. In the late seventies Galewski and Stern [10] constructed a closed 5–manifold M 5 so that every n–manifold, with n 5, can be triangulated if and only if M 5 can be triangulated. Moreover, M 5 admits a triangulation if and only if...
