Simplicial sphere

In geometry and combinatorics, a simplicial (or combinatorial) d-sphere is a simplicial complex homeomorphic to the d-dimensional sphere. Some simplicial spheres arise as the boundaries of convex polytopes, however, in higher dimensions most simplicial spheres cannot be obtained in this way. One important open problem in the field was the g-conjecture, formulated by Peter McMullen, which asks about possible numbers of faces of different dimensions of a simplicial sphere. In December 2018, the g-conjecture was proven by Karim Adiprasito in the more general context of rational homology spheres. (Wikipedia).

Simplices and simplicial complexes | Algebraic Topology | NJ Wildberger

Simplices are higher dimensional analogs of line segments and triangle, such as a tetrahedron. We begin this lecture by discussing convex combinations and convex hulls, and showing a natural hierarchy from point to line segment to triangle to tetrahedron. Each of these also has a standard

Omer Bobrowski: Random Simplicial Complexes II

A simplicial complex is a collection of vertices, edges, triangles, tetrahedra and higher dimensional simplexes glued together. In other words, it is a higher-dimensional generalization of a graph. In recent years there has been a growing effort in developing the theory of random simplicia

Johnathan Bush (11/5/21): Maps of Čech and Vietoris–Rips complexes into euclidean spaces

We say a continuous injective map from a topological space to k-dimensional euclidean space is simplex-preserving if the image of each set of at most k+1 distinct points is affinely independent. We will describe how simplex-preserving maps can be useful in the study of Čech and Vietoris–Ri

Given a sample of points X in a metric space M and a scale parameter r, the Vietoris-Rips simplicial complex VR(X;r) is a standard construction to attempt to recover M from X up to homotopy type. A deficiency of this approach is that VR(X;r) is not metrizable if it is not locally finite, a

The Borsuk graph has vertex set the sphere S^d, and edges x∼y whenever x and y are ϵ-almost antipodal. It is well known that when epsilon is small, its chromatic number is d+2, which follows from the topology of S^d via Borsuk-Ulam's Theorem. Given a finite group G acting freely over a com
