Complexity of PL manifolds
We extend Matveev’s complexity of 3-manifolds to PL compact manifolds of arbitrary dimension, and we study its properties. The complexity of a manifold is the minimum number of vertices in a simple spine. We study how this quantity changes under the most common topological operations (handle additions, finite coverings, drilling and surgery of spheres, products, connected sums) and its relation...
متن کاملOn locally convex PL-manifolds and fast verification of convexity
We show that a PL-realization of a closed connected manifold of dimension n − 1 in R (n ≥ 3) is the boundary of a convex polyhedron if and only if the interior of each (n− 3)-face has a point, which has a neighborhood lying on the boundary of a convex n-dimensional body. This result is derived from a generalization of Van Heijenoort’s theorem on locally convex manifolds to the spherical case. O...
متن کاملCataloguing PL 4-Manifolds by Gem-Complexity
We describe an algorithm to subdivide automatically a given set of PL nmanifolds (via coloured triangulations or, equivalently, via crystallizations) into classes whose elements are PL-homeomorphic. The algorithm, implemented in the case n = 4, succeeds to solve completely the PL-homeomorphism problem among the catalogue of all closed connected PL 4-manifolds up to gem-complexity 8 (i.e., which...
متن کاملMetric Ricci curvature for $PL$ manifolds
We introduce a metric notion of Ricci curvature for PL manifolds and study its convergence properties. We also prove a fitting version of the Bonnet-Myers Theorem, for surfaces as well as for a large class of higher dimensional manifolds.
متن کاملOn converting sets of tetrahedra to combinatorial and PL manifolds
We investigate the problem of removing singularities from a non-manifold tetrahedral mesh so as to convert it to a more exploitable manifold representation. Given the twofold combinatorial and geometrical nature of a 3D simplicial complex, we propose two conversion algorithms that, depending on the targeted application, modify either its connectivity only or both its connectivity and its geomet...
