Abstract:
Simple crystallizations are edge-colored graphs representing piecewise linear (PL) 4-manifolds with the property that the 1-skeleton of the associated triangulation equals the 1-skeleton of a 4-simplex. In this paper, we prove that any (simply-connected) PL 4-manifold [Formula: see text] admitting a simple crystallization admits a special handlebody decomposition, too; equivalently, [Formula: see text] may be represented by a framed link yielding [Formula: see text], with exactly [Formula: see text] components ([Formula: see text] being the second Betti number of [Formula: see text]). As a consequence, the regular genus of [Formula: see text] is proved to be the double of [Formula: see text]. Moreover, the characterization of any such PL 4-manifold by [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the gem-complexity of [Formula: see text] (i.e. the non-negative number [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] being the minimum order of a crystallization of [Formula: see text]), implies that both PL invariants gem-complexity and regular genus turn out to be additive within the class of all PL 4-manifolds admitting simple crystallizations (in particular, within the class of all “standard” simply-connected PL 4-manifolds).

AbstractIn the present paper, we face the problem of classifying classes of orientable PL 5-manifolds M5 with h ≥ 1 boundary components, by making use of a combinatorial invariant called regular genusG(M5). In particular, a complete classification up to regular genus five is obtained: where denotes the regular genus of the boundary ∂M5 and denotes the connected sumof h ≥ 1 orientable 5-dimensional handlebodies 𝕐αi of genus αi ≥ 0 (i = 1, . . . ,h), so that .Moreover, we give the following characterizations of orientable PL 5-manifolds M5 with boundary satisfying particular conditions related to the “gap” between G(M5) and either G(∂M5) or the rank of their fundamental group rk(π1(M5)): Further, the paper explains how the above results (together with other known properties of regular genus of PL manifolds) may lead to a combinatorial approach to 3-dimensional Poincaré Conjecture.

Abstract:
Abstract We discuss a PL analog of Morse theory for PL manifolds. There are several notions of regular and critical points. A point is homologically regular if the homology does not change when passing through its level; it is strongly regular if the function can serve as one coordinate in a chart. Several criteria for strong regularity are presented. In particular, we show that in dimensions d ≤ 4 a homologically regular point on a PL d-manifold is always strongly regular. Examples show that this fails in higher dimensions d ≥ 5. One of our constructions involves an embedding of the dunce hat into 4-space and Mazur’s contractible 4-manifold. Finally, decidability questions in this context are discussed.

Abstract:
It is well-known that every 3-manifold M3 may be represented by a framed link (L,c), which indicates the Dehn-surgery from [Formula: see text] to M3 = M3(L,c); moreover, M3 is the boundary of a PL 4-manifold M4 = M4(L, c), which is obtained from [Formula: see text] by adding 2-handles along the framed link (L, c). In this paper we study the relationships between the above representations and the representation theory of general PL-manifolds by edge-coloured graphs: in particular, we describe how to construct a 5-coloured graph representing M4=M4(L,c), directly from a planar diagram of (L,c). As a consequence, relations between the combinatorial properties of the link L and both the Heegaard genus of M3=M3(L,c) and the regular genus of M4=M4(L,c) are obtained.

Abstract:
Abstract The reconstruction theorem deals with dynamical systems that are given by a map T : X → X of a compact metric space X together with an observable f : X → R from X to the real line R . In 1981, by use of Whitney’s embedding theorem, Takens proved that if T : M → M is a (two-sided) diffeomorphism on a compact smooth manifold M with dim M = d , for generic (T, f) there is a bijection between elements x ∈ M and corresponding sequence ( f T j ( x ) ) j = 0 2 d , and moreover, in 2002 Takens proved a generalised version for endomorphisms. In natural sciences and physical engineering, there has been an increase in importance of fractal sets and more complicated spaces, and also in mathematics, many topological and dynamical properties and stochastic analysis of such spaces have been studied. In the present paper, by use of some topological methods we extend the Takens’ reconstruction theorems of compact smooth manifolds to reconstruction theorems of ‘non-invertible’ dynamical systems for a large class of compact metric spaces, which contains PL-manifolds, manifolds with branched structures and some fractal sets, e.g. Menger manifolds, Sierpiński carpet and Sierpiński gasket and dendrites, etc.

AbstractThere are 11 closed 4-manifolds which admit geometries of compact type (S4, CP2 or S2 × S2) and two other closely related bundle spaces (S2 × S2 and the total space of the nontrivial RP2-bundle over S2). We show that the homotopy type of such a manifold is determined up to an ambiguity of order at most 4 by its quadratic 2-type, and this in turn is (in most cases) determined by the Euler characteristic, fundamental group and Stiefel-Whitney classes. In (at least) seven of the 13 cases, a PL 4-manifold with the same invariants as a geometric manifold or bundle space must be homeomorphic to it.

We derive a general state sum construction for 2D topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) with source defects on oriented curves, extending the state-sum construction from special symmetric Frobenius algebra for 2D TQFTs without defects (cf.

From the extended Pachner moves (Crane and Yetter [Moves on filtered PL manifolds and stratified PL spaces, arXiv:1404.3142 ]), we derive equations that we subsequently translate into string diagrams so that we can easily observe their properties. As in Dougherty, Park and Yetter [On 2-dimensional Dijkgraaf–Witten theory with defects, to appear in J. Knots Theory Ramifications], we require that triangulations be flaglike, meaning that each simplex of the triangulation is either disjoint from the defect curve, or intersects it in a closed face, and that the extended Pachner moves preserve flaglikeness.

Abstract:
The recent paper of Berlanga and Epstein [5] demonstrated the significant role played by the “ends” of a noncompact manifold M in answering questions relating homeomorphisms of M to measures on M. In this paper we show that an analysis of the end behaviour of measure preserving homeomorphisms of a manifold also leads to an understanding of some of their ergodic properties, and allows results previously obtained for compact manifolds to be extended (with qualifications) to the noncompact case. We will show that ergodicity is typical (dense Gδ) with respect to various compact-open topology closed subsets of the space consisting of all homeomorphisms of a manifold M which preserve a measure μ. It may be interesting for topologists to note that we prove when M is a σ-compact connected n-manifold, n≧ 2, then M is the countable union of an increasing family of compact connected manifolds. If M is a PL or smooth manifold, this is well known and easy. If M is just, however, a topological n-manifold then we apply the recent results [9] and [12] to prove the result. The Borel measure μ, is taken to be nonatomic, locally finite, positive on open sets, and zero for the manifold boundary of M.

We study 2-generated subgroups $\langle f,g\rangle <\operatorname{Homeo}^{+}(I)$ such that $\langle f^{2},g^{2}\rangle$ is isomorphic to Thompson’s group $F$, and such that the supports of $f$ and $g$ form a chain of two intervals. We show that this class contains uncountably many isomorphism types. These include examples with non-abelian free subgroups, examples which do not admit faithful actions by $C^{2}$ diffeomorphisms on 1-manifolds, examples which do not admit faithful actions by $PL$ homeomorphisms on an interval, and examples which are not finitely presented. We thus answer questions due to Brin. We also show that many relatively uncomplicated groups of homeomorphisms can have very complicated square roots, thus establishing the behavior of square roots of $F$ as part of a general phenomenon among subgroups of $\operatorname{Homeo}^{+}(I)$.

AbstractWe study lower bounds for the number of vertices in a PL-triangulation of a given manifold M. While most of the previous estimates are based on the dimension and the connectivity of M, we show that further information can be extracted by studying the structure of the fundamental group of M and applying techniques from the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category theory. In particular, we prove that every PL-triangulation of a d-dimensional manifold (d ⩾ 3) whose fundamental group is not free has at least 3d + 1 vertices. As a corollary, every d-dimensional homology sphere that admits a combinatorial triangulation with less than 3d vertices is PL-homeomorphic to Sd. Another important consequence is that every triangulation with small links of M is combinatorial.

More precisely, we show that every closed Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature admits a PL Morse function whose level set volume is bounded in terms of the volume of the manifold. As a consequence of this sweep-out estimate, there exists an embedded, closed (possibly singular) minimal hypersurface whose volume is bounded in terms of the volume of the manifold.

We describe an algorithm to subdivide automatically a given set of PL $n$-manifolds (via coloured triangulations or, equivalently, via crystallizations) into classes whose elements are PL-homeomorphic. The algorithm, implemented in the case n=4, succeeds to solve completely the PL-homeomorphism problem among the catalogue of all closed connected PL 4-manifolds up to gem-complexity 8 (i.e., which admit a coloured triangulation with at most 18 4-simplices).Possible interactions with the (not completely known) relationship among different classification in TOP and DIFF=PL categories are also investigated. As a first consequence of the above PL classification, the non-existence of exotic PL 4-manifolds up to gem-complexity 8 is proved. Further applications of the tool are described, related to possible PL-recognition of different triangulations of the K3-surface.

Abstract:
AbstractMinimal crystallizations of simply connected PL 4-manifolds are very natural objects. Many of their topological features are reflected in their combinatorial structure which, in addition, is preserved under the connected sum operation. We present a minimal crystallization of the standard PL K3 surface. In combination with known results this yields minimal crystallizations of all simply connected PL 4-manifolds of “standard” type, that is, all connected sums of ℂℙ

Abstract:
The goal of this paper is to give some theorems which relate to the problem of classifying combinatorial (resp. smooth) closed manifolds up to piecewise-linear (PL) homeomorphism. For this, we use the combinatorial approach to the topology of PL manifolds by means of a special kind of edge-colored graphs, called crystallizations. Within this representation theory, Bracho and Montejano introduced in 1987 a nonnegative numerical invariant, called the reduced complexity, for any closed $n$-dimensional PL manifold. Here we consider this invariant, and extend in this context the concept of average order first introduced by Luo and Stong in 1993, and successively investigated by Tamura in 1996 and 1998. Then we obtain some classification results for closed connected smooth low-dimensional manifolds according to reduced complexity and average order. Finally, we answer to a question posed by Trout in 2013.

Abstract:
AbstractIsomanifolds are the generalization of isosurfaces to arbitrary dimension and codimension, i.e. manifolds defined as the zero set of some multivariate multivalued smooth function $$f: {\mathbb {R}}^d\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}^{d-n}$$ f : R d → R d - n . A natural (and efficient) way to approximate an isomanifold is to consider its piecewise-linear (PL) approximation based on a triangulation $$\mathcal {T}$$ T of the ambient space $${\mathbb {R}}^d$$ R d . In this paper, we give conditions under which the PL approximation of an isomanifold is topologically equivalent to the isomanifold. The conditions are easy to satisfy in the sense that they can always be met by taking a sufficiently fine and thick triangulation $$\mathcal {T}$$ T . This contrasts with previous results on the triangulation of manifolds where, in arbitrary dimensions, delicate perturbations are needed to guarantee topological correctness, which leads to strong limitations in practice. We further give a bound on the Fréchet distance between the original isomanifold and its PL approximation. Finally, we show analogous results for the PL approximation of an isomanifold with boundary.
