Does every triangulable manifold have a vertex-transitive triangulation?
Does every triangulable manifold have a vertex-transitive triangulation?
When I talk about a vertex-transitive triangulation of a manifold, I mean in the sense of realizing a manifold homeomorphically ...

Non-triangulable 4-manifold as a boundary of some 5 manifold
We know that there are non-triangulable 4-manifolds, such as the E$_8$ manifold.
Can E$_8$ manifold be a boundary of some 5-manifold $M_5$? Can such a $M_5$ be triangulable or non-triangulable? What ...

Any 3-manifold can be realized as the boundary of a 4-manifold
We know
"Any closed, oriented $3$-manifold $M$ is the boundary of some oriented $4$-manifold $B$." See this post: Elegant proof that any closed, oriented 3-manifold is the boundary of some ...

Lipschitz Approximation to a PW Smooth Map
Suppose I have a triangulated smooth manifold, $\tau : |K| \rightarrow M$ (so that $\tau | _{\sigma}$ is smooth for each $\sigma \in K$), and a piecewise smooth map, $f: M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$. ...
