A Cubical Set Approach to 2-Bundles with Connection and Wilson Surfaces
In the context of non-abelian gerbes we define a cubical version of categorical group 2-bundles with connection over a smooth manifold and consider their two-dimensional parallel transport with the aim of defining non-abelian Wilson surface functionals.
متن کاملFlags and shellings of Eulerian cubical posets∗†
A cubical analogue of Stanley’s theorem expressing the cd-index of an Eulerian simplicial poset in terms of its h-vector is presented. This result implies that the cd-index conjecture for Gorenstein∗ cubical posets follows from Ron Adin’s conjecture on the non-negativity of his cubical h-vector for Cohen-Macaulay cubical posets. For cubical spheres the standard definition of shelling is shown t...
متن کاملNeighborly Cubical Polytopes
Neighborly cubical polytopes exist: for any n ≥ d ≥ 2r + 2, there is a cubical convex d-polytope C d whose r-skeleton is combinatorially equivalent to that of the n-dimensional cube. This solves a problem of Babson, Billera & Chan. Kalai conjectured that the boundary ∂C d of a neighborly cubical polytope C n d maximizes the f -vector among all cubical (d− 1)-spheres with 2 vertices. While we sh...
متن کاملCounting faces of cubical spheres modulo two
Several recent papers have addressed the problem of characterizing the f -vectors of cubical polytopes. This is largely motivated by the complete characterization of the f -vectors of simplicial polytopes given by Stanley, Billera, and Lee in 1980 [19] [4]. Along these lines Blind and Blind [5] have shown that unlike in the simplicial case, there are parity restrictions on the f -vectors of cub...
متن کاملNeighborly Cubical Polytopes and Spheres
We prove that the neighborly cubical polytopes studied by Günter M. Ziegler and the first author [14] arise as a special case of the neighborly cubical spheres constructed by Babson, Billera, and Chan [4]. By relating the two constructions we obtain an explicit description of a non-polytopal neighborly cubical sphere and, further, a new proof of the fact that the cubical equivelar surfaces of M...
