On the Numbers of Faces of Low-Dimensional Regular Triangulations and Shellable Balls

چکیده
We investigate the conjectured sufficiency of a condition for h-vectors (1, h1, h2, . . . , hd, 0) of regular d-dimensional triangulations. (The condition is already shown to be necessary in [2]). We first prove that the condition is sufficient when h1 ≥ h2 ≥ · · · ≥ hd. We then derive some new shellings of squeezed spheres and use them to prove that the condition is sufficient when d = 3. Finally, in the case d = 4, we construct shellable 4-balls with the desired h-vectors, showing them to be realizable as regular triangulations when h4 = 0 or h4 = h1.

Shelling Polyhedral 3-Balls and 4-Polytopes
There is a long history of constructions of non-shellable triangulations of -dimensional (topological) balls. This paper gives a survey of these constructions, including Furch’s 1924 construction using knotted curves, which also appears in Bing’s 1962 survey of combinatorial approaches to the Poincaré conjecture, Newman’s 1926 explicit example, and M. E. Rudin’s 1958 non-shellable triangulation...
متن کاملCombinatorial 3-Manifolds with 10 Vertices
We give a complete enumeration of combinatorial 3-manifolds with 10 vertices: There are precisely 247882 triangulated 3-spheres with 10 vertices as well as 518 vertex-minimal triangulations of the sphere product S×S and 615 triangulations of the twisted sphere product S×S. All the 3-spheres with up to 10 vertices are shellable, but there are 29 vertexminimal non-shellable 3-balls with 9 vertices.
متن کاملGenocchi numbers and f-vectors of simplicial balls
The aim of this note is to investigate f -vectors of simplicial balls, especially the relations between interior and boundary faces. For a simplicial ball B we denote by fi(B) the number of i-dimensional faces. The boundary ∂B of B is a simplicial sphere with face numbers fi(∂B). We also define fi(int B) := fi(B) − fi(∂B) although the interior int B of B is not a polyhedral complex. For simplic...

Preface Everything started from one book. I happened to buy the textbook \Lectures on Poly-topes" 98] written by Prof. G unter M. Ziegler, at the university bookstore about ve years ago. I bought it only because the gures (especially of permutahedra and of zonotopal tilings) interested me, but the book turned out to be a very good introduction to the world of poly-topes, starting from fundament...
متن کاملAn extension theorem for finite positive measures on surfaces of finite dimensional unit balls in Hilbert spaces
A consistency criteria is given for a certain class of finite positive measures on the surfaces of the finite dimensional unit balls in a real separable Hilbert space. It is proved, through a Kolmogorov type existence theorem, that the class induces a unique positive measure on the surface of the unit ball in the Hilbert space. As an application, this will naturally accomplish the work of Kante...
