Is there a combinatorial representation of general topological manifolds similar to triangulations?

Piece-wise linear manifolds are combinatorially represented by simplicial complexes modulo Pachner moves. However, for dimensions greater than $3$, the notions of piece-wise linear and topological ...

Mean number of $n$-simplices per $(n-2)$-simplex in a triangulated $n$-manifold

Work by Tamura (extending results by Luo and Stong) shows the following. Theorem: For any closed 3-manifold $M$ and any rational number $4.5 < r < 6$ there is a triangulation $T$ of $M$ for ...

Minimal set of geometric moves in various equivalence classes of triangulated geometries

I would like to get to know what is the minimal set of geometric changes "aka. moves" (topology preserving modifications / Pachner moves / bistellar moves) that can transform any 3-...

Triangulations with discrete metrics and conformal equivalence

A discrete metric for a triangulation of a 2-dimensional manifold is a map associating $\mathbb{R}_+$-valued lengths to all edges, such that the triangle inequality holds on every triangle. In many ...

What is known about $\operatorname{card}_E(\mathrm{MST}\cap\mathrm{MWT})$?

It is a wellknown fact of computational geometry that the edges of Minimum-weight Spanning Tree are also found in the Delaunay Triangulation of a planar pointset $\mathcal{P}$, i.e. $\operatorname{...

Existence of a "generic enough" lattice point interior to a lattice triangle

Let $T$ be a lattice triangle in $\Bbb R^2$ (i.e. the convex hull of three noncolinear points in $\Bbb Z^2$), and assume it has at least one interior lattice point. Is it always possible to find a ...

What are some other methods for partitioning an n-dimensional space based on a set of points in that space?

So this is a very general question, but I'm curious if there are any other methods for partitioning an n-dimensional space based on the location of a set of points, either randomly chosen or specified,...

Regular triangulation of hypercube

I have started studying regular subdivisions of the $n$-cube, and came across the following post: Regularity of Delaunay triangulation of a hypercube. My question is whether the "standard ...

Number of tetrahedra inside a sphere with boundary A

I understand, that there are some combinatorial problems which are not yet solved regarding gluing triangulations in 3D. At least last time I checked, it was not yet known exactly how many ...
