Or it is just that we have now powerful computing machines therefore it is natural to use them on topological problems. What kind of problems researchers are interested in working at the intersection of dynamics and low dimensional topology. </p> <p>Any suggestion for reading is greatly appreciated. The phrase sound fascinating, but have almost no understanding. Thanks. </p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/63387/can-every-3-manifold-be-triangulated Can every 3-manifold be triangulated? Raj Kumar 2011-04-29T08:39:22Z 2011-04-29T11:48:02Z <p>One of my classmates was telling me that it is an open question whether every 3-manifold can be triangulated. This was rather surprising. He said that the question as far as he remember is settled only for 4-manifold where answer is negative. If this is the case, can somebody shed some light why this problem is so hard?</p>
