Simplicial diffeomorphisms

چکیده
In this paper we will present a theory for simplicial diffeomorphims, that is, diffeomorphims that preserve the incidence relations of a simplicial complex. Simplicial diffeomorphisms can be regarded as curvilinear barycentric coordinates. Using the combination of piecewise linear functions on complexes with simplicial diffeomorphisms, we also propose a new representation of curves and surfaces (and hypersurfaces, in general) that is simultaneously implicit and parametric.

In this paper we will develop a theory for simplicial diffeomorphims, that is, diffeomorphims that preserve the incidence relations of a simplicial complex, and analyze alternative schemes to construct them with different properties. In combining piecewise linear functions on complexes with simplicial diffeomorphisms, we propose a new representation of curves and surfaces (and hypersurfaces, in...
متن کاملRepresentations of the Quantum Teichmüller Space and Invariants of Surface Diffeomorphisms
— We investigate the representation theory of the polynomial core T S of the quantum Teichmüller space of a punctured surface S. This is a purely algebraic object, closely related to the combinatorics of the simplicial complex of ideal cell decompositions of S. Our main result is that irreducible finite-dimensional representations of T S are classified, up to finitely many choices, by group hom...

متن کاملExotic spheres and the Whitehead space
I. Review: An obstruction theory. — Let Θn be the group of diffeomorphism classes of oriented smooth homotopy spheres of dimension n. Let Diff(Sn−1) be the simplicial group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms Sn−1 → Sn−1. For n > 5, the natural homomorphism from π0Diff(Sn−1) to Θn is surjective by Smale’s h–cobordism theorem, and injective by Cerf’s pseudo–isotopy theorem. It is easily se...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Regge Calculus
While there has been some advance in the use of Regge calculus as a tool in numerical relativity, the main progress in Regge calculus recently has been in quantum gravity. After a brief discussion of this progress, attention is focussed on two particular, related aspects. Firstly, the possible definitions of diffeomorphisms or gauge transformations in Regge calculus are examined and examples ar...
