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 ...
