Distance between two points using triangulation
Suppose we have two points $p_1$ and $p_2$ in a metric space with unknown dimensionality, with no way to directly compute the distance between them, e.g. no coordinates.
Say we can randomly sample a ...

A question on relation of different triangulations of a triangulable space
Suppose we get two triangulations of a manifold with boundary $M$ such that the triangulation is compatible with boundary, i.e. the restriction on the boundary is itself a triangulation, is it these ...

Annulus theorem for pseudomanifolds
Lets say I take an arbitrary closed and smooth $d$-manifolds $\mathcal{M}$. Now, it is a well-known fact that whenever I take two (sufficiently nice embedded) closed $d$-balls $B_{1}$ and $B_{2}$ in $\...

Find a certain triangulation subordinate to a given covering of a manifold
Let $\{U_\alpha\}$ be a covering of a smooth manifold $M$. Replacing it by a refined covering if necessary, we may assume some good properties of it, like, (1) any intersection $\cap_{i=1}^k U_{\...
