| Jan 5, 2016 at 13:13 | comment | added | Ian Agol | I don't know Thurston's precise motivation, but I was at Davis when he was revising this paper (I don't have a copy of the original, which had fewer examples than the final version). Part of the motivation of Thurston came from finding parameterizations of the set of triangulations of a sphere where all vertices have degree ≤6≤6. In turn, I think this was motivated by his investigation of triangulations of 3-manifolds in which all the vertex links were sphere triangulations of this sort (see sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040938302001003). | |
