Simplicial Energy and Simplicial Harmonic Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a combinatorial energy for maps of triangulated surfaces with simplicial metrics and analyze the existence and uniqueness properties of the corresponding harmonic maps. We show that some important applications of smooth harmonic maps can be obtained in this setting.

Cohen-Macaulay-ness in codimension for simplicial complexes and expansion functor
In this paper we show that expansion of a Buchsbaum simplicial complex is $CM_t$, for an optimal integer $tgeq 1$. Also, by imposing extra assumptions on a $CM_t$ simplicial complex, we provethat it can be obtained from a Buchsbaum complex.
متن کاملInvariance of the barycentric subdivision of a simplicial complex
In this paper we prove that a simplicial complex is determined uniquely up to isomorphism by its barycentric subdivision as well as its comparability graph. We also put together several algebraic, combinatorial and topological invariants of simplicial complexes.
متن کاملVertex Decomposable Simplicial Complexes Associated to Path Graphs
Introduction Vertex decomposability of a simplicial complex is a combinatorial topological concept which is related to the algebraic properties of the Stanley-Reisner ring of the simplicial complex. This notion was first defined by Provan and Billera in 1980 for k-decomposable pure complexes which is known as vertex decomposable when . Later Bjorner and Wachs extended this concept to non-pure ...
متن کاملSimplicial ramified covering maps
In this paper we define the concept of a ramified covering map in the category of simplicial sets and we show that it has properties analogous to those of the topological ramified covering maps. We show that the geometric realization of a simplicial ramified covering map is a topological ramified covering map, and we also consider the relation with ramified covering maps in the category of simp...
