There's a bunch of Germans that might have quick references for you but as far as I know they don't contribute here. Udo Pachner or Ulrich Pinkall might be good people to ask. Maybe Ed Schwartz at Cornell? | |

So if we were to take the $M_i$'s to simply be all the top-dimensional simplices, the issue that fails (potentially) is the niceness criterion, specifically (2). You could get possible intersections of higher co-dimension. | |

| Mar 6, 2014 at 2:43 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | It looks like an impossible demand to me. If the $M_i$'s are contained in simplices of a fixed triangulation they would have to be simplices, but then it would be impossible for them to intersect in co-dimension zero manifolds. Maybe this isn't exactly the question you intended? | |
