The diffeomorphism conjecture for the 16- and 17-vertex triangulations of the K3 surface
The diffeomorphism conjecture for the 16- and 17-vertex triangulations of the K3 surface
Let and denote the 16-vertex and 17-vertex triangulations, respectively, of the K3 surface. K3 triangulation diffeomorphism conjecture.
The smooth type of is canonical, whereas the smooth type of was unknown in the source context. Since piecewise-linear and smooth manifolds correspond in dimension four, resolving this conjecture would determine whether these two triangulations represent the same smooth 4-manifold.
